This is my placeholder website that I'm typing in TextEdit* BBEdit, mostly from memory of the '90s.
My work experience has included decades of video production and writing for dozens of tech and gaming publications. I started with magazines, and those that still exist are mostly online.
Now I focus on music electronics repair. I've fixed hundreds of synthesizers, effects pedals, drum machines, amps, and more. I want to save them all from cycles of consumption and landfill; I have the tools and experience to restore big-component gear from the '60s to modern, tiny surface-mount repairs under a microscope.
Modern repair technicians--especially those at big companies--usually try to identify a failed circuit board that has hundreds of components and swap that whole thing in, often costing hundreds of dollars for a part. For vintage gear, you can rarely just buy a whole new circuit board. Even when I can, I look for the specific, broken components that cause an issue, which takes longer but seems like a better attitude. We can save money replacing these failing components, often costing a few dollars, and reduce waste.
Let me know if you need a repair on your music gear or other electronics. Check your spelling, and ping me at my first name @ this domain.
*Apparently TextEdit can't save plain text files anymore. Great job everyone.
