About the Reviewers

Tim Gorbunov was born in the USA. At a young age, he fell in love with building and constructing things, just like his dad. Tim became very good at origami and started to sell it at elementary school. As he grew up, Tim leaned more towards electronics because it fascinated him more than any other hobby. Creating circuits that buzzed or flashed was one of Tim's favorite things to do. As time went by, he started exploring more advanced electronics and programming, and from that point on, he became more and more knowledgeable about electronics. He got hired to help create cymatic light shows at CymaSpace. At this company that specializes in sound-reactive technologies, he helped start Audiolux devices by helping them design their products. Tim has many other hobbies, but he does a good job at implementing his electronic ideas in his activities. One example of this is a fishing boat motor controller that allows the user to throttle and shift using a joystick, which is all based on the Arduino in his custom printed circuit board.
