Honing the chaos. Passing through this life, enjoying, toiling, occidentally meditating, hopefully innovating, and beginning to question less and accept more. Live and let live? Works for me.

The name is Collins. I am currently at work in Product Management for Avnera, a young semiconductor technology firm building cool sh_t for consumer electronics. I’m an engineer by training, technical business manager by practice. In my current role I’m asked to draw upon systems, industrial & mechanical design, technical marketing, product operations, and sales disciplines, and it is for all intents and purposes, a total freakin’ riot.

Other than that, I am a fine example of the 21st century nomad. I’m gifted with the ability to sleep on airplanes, and can stay dormant through un-godly noise. I hope to share some experiences from my travels on this blog…
