here is one of my evil birds

Nita - Technical Lead Nita E

About Me
Hi, I’m Nita and I have been on the hardware team since January of 2019. I just finished ECE 3B. I somehow became a lead by sticking around long enough and not breaking too much stuff, so that’s pretty cool.

I have worked on charger interface, power select, and all of the lights boards for MSXIV since joining. This is going to be my last term on Midnight Sun since I’m entering 4A soon, so I’ll be handling a lot of stuff.

I look forward to meeting all of you this term!

Talk to Me About

  • General questions (system overview, manufacturing, tasks etc.)

  • Job hunting

  • ECE stuff/electrical hardware theory

  • Killer robots

  • Balkan Brass, Melodic Death Metal, or Synthwave

I hope to meet a bunch of y’all online as well as on-campus for a bunch of onsite work (or just randomly for fun)
