"The most enjoyable thing about engineering is creating something from nothing. A product definition is really a problem to be solved. Creating a design to solve that problem, or fixing a design that is currently not able to do the job is a wonderful experience. How you go about implementing it, hardware or software, what language, is a detail. The important thing is to create a quality solution that meets customer needs. Working through TDS gives me the opportunity to do this again and again."
