This is a bog about my personal journey and desire to fill in the gaps that are left out of textbooks. I realized during my education I didn’t have answers to every singly gritty and hidden corner of electronics during my time in university. My power electronics didn’t go deep enough into the control systems behind them, the importance of a layout of the components. My signals processing and communications courses didn’t mention how mixers physically work, nor criterion for designing filters and modulation schema decisions. To the institution’s credit, I don’t think they should filled their time in exploring those questions. Professors are focused on getting what these things are supposed to look which is more than enough for undergraduate course.

However, I know this information exists, hardware engineers all over the world use it to design the underlying electronics to everything. This implies a paper, application note, or a stone tablet conveying this information. Buffered Insights is about collecting this and providing an easy access repository for this. Transforming those tomes of industry knowledge into a place that can be readily accessed. A buffered output with references and designs backing that knowledge.

Where do I enter the picture?

I am a recent graduate of an electrical engineering program where I focused on communication and RF engineering. I have worked primarily as a test specialist focused on testing RF systems in various capacities for calibration or failure analysis. I have a passion for electronics and system level design and love finding the reason behind decisions and how to approach the next decision better.
