Summary

Matthew Venn is a science & technology communicator and electronic engineer. He brings 20 years of engineering experience to create excellent and innovative learning experiences for people all over the world.

Over the last years I've become very involved in the open source semiconductor movement, creating courses, speaking at events, interviewing people involved and even running a conference.

After one of my course participants requested some mentoring, I decided to re-enable my code mentor profile.

I can help you from zero all the way to your own custom silicon chip!
