Simplify Engineering - Building a Collaboration Platform for System Engineers That Specialize in R&D and Manufacturing

I'm a hardware engineer with over ten years of experience, based in Southern California. I've worked on products like the Amazon Alexa and Meta Oculus, and I have grown frustrated with the current processes and inefficiencies of the consumer electronics industry. This is why I created The Lyceum, an online collaborative software that facilitates hardware system engineering research & development and manufacturing by automating data-intensive tasks, keeping a track record of historical technical data, and offering tools for online group work.
