About Willem Van Dam

I am a Senior Aerospace Embedded Software Engineer working in San Francisco. I studied Mechatronics Engineering at UBC in Vancouver Canada. I have a passion for everything design, mechanical, electrical, 3D, 2D, web-design, and potentially some I haven't even been exposed to yet.

I also love to travel and have grown up around the world. See the map below for more information on where I'm from.

Outside of those I also enjoy hiking, camping, backpacking, competing in obstacle races, wrestling, running, and cycling long distances.
