What's a cucurbit?

A cucurbit is a member of the cucurbitaceae family of plants, including cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, and melons.

What's in a name?

The wide variety found in the cucurbit family represents the wide variety of technical interests I have within electronics and software. "Prototyping and Engineering" captures my focus in getting your ideas implemented quickly and professionally with an eye towards quality.

The punny among you may notice that the three syllables of cu·cur·bit are pronounced like three common computer software terms: "queue" (a common data structure), "cur[rent]" (a common short variable name), and "bit" (binary digit). Plus, it's fun to say.
