About Louie

I have actively been interested and working in electronics, technology, computing, and scientific research for many years both as a practicing enthusiast and advanced maker, and in my professional career as an Experimental Scientist, Technology Manager, and IT Consultant. There are many insights I have gained over the years however, my failures have been my biggest source of frustration and learning. I created the “Research Lab Notes” site to capture and share my thoughts, discoveries, resources, and show case my projects with people who share the same passion for learning and innovation. While I will make ever effort to keep this blog simple and interesting, I will from time to time be blogging about advanced and complex topics because of my deeper interests. I hope you will find something of interest and more importantly learn something of value.
