About
My name is Nathan Young, and I am an electrical engineering student at Arizona State University. My main interest within electrical engineering is wireless communication hardware.
I enjoy learning about new technologies, spending mindful time outdoors through sports, and getting together with others who share my interests. I enjoy designing and building a variety of different things, as well as tinkering with anything mechanical, from the action in my piano to the derailleur on my bike.
