02 / BEHIND THE HARDWARE
Rand Abubakir

Curious about the circuit.
Committed to the whole system.

At Brown, I’m developing hands-on experience across circuit design, firmware, sensing, and mechanical prototyping. I’m especially interested in how design decisions hold up when hardware meets real use.
