Upcycle PC (Personal Business)
I watched a heart-wrenching documentary on the unethical and unsustainable dumping of electronics in Ghana and China. I've always loved building things to help others, so I took action.
​
This was my first taste of Product Management. I built dozens of computers from used electronics at a fraction of the cost of a new system. I figured out the core needs of my users, and built MVPs.
​
I source used, recycled and new components from a non-profit recycling organization. I find that it's this inability to assess, test, trust and electronic hardware that is the obstacle to cheap, accessible technology. Through transparency and education, I advocate for the sustainable use/disposal of electronics.
