As my daily job, I work on minor projects of residential electricity. Once I had the chance to manage a few projects on an electric grid in my hometown. My participation was on the project management side.

Recently I have worked on some DIY projects at home under the supervision of my dad who has a greater knowledge of residential electrical circuits. this included replacing a ceiling light, switch and plug sockets. I also have recently taken an interest in building my own stereo amplifier using a gain clone schematic which can be found online. I hope to use the knowledge gained as an apprentice to help fully understand the circuit and components needed to achieve this goal.
