Wow, that's an interesting switch.

  • What (if any) crossover skills have you found between the two professions?
  • What's been the easiest/hardest part of the transition?
  • Have you any interest in exploring IoT/Arduino/Rasperry Pi projects?

I say the last question as someone from a computer science background, I've found getting to explore light electrical engineering concepts very fun and wonder if the reverse is true for you.

Hello. Thanks for asking.
Crossover skills: I got some basic coding notion programming in assembler for microprocessors.
Hard: Initially, I did nota realize how big is the number of Dev tools. Tried to learn too many of them. Now I narrowed out my selected Dev tools list.
IOT: no plans for now.
