• Question: What inspired you to change your mind from an inventor to an engineer, also, why do you be so harsh on yourself when you describe yourself as nerdy, tall and clumsy?

      I thought engineer was more of a “real job” than inventor, though I think they are actually very much the same thing.

      I didn’t realise I sounded harsh! I think being nerdy and tall are not that bad, right? It’s usually the first thing people notice about me (tall when they see me, nerdy once I start talking).
