Hi, I'm Jake Peters

A Canadian electrical/aerospace engineer interested in RF/microwave communication, radar systems, outer space, skiing and BJJ.

This website was created to help me keep track of projects, lessons learned and general information I would normally forget about. Perhaps my ramblings may prove to be useful for others as well.
