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!
