Hi! I’m Michael Kafarowski. I have a passion for exploring new skills and ideas. I love taking things apart, learning how things work, building stuff and sharing ideas.

I work as an embedded systems engineer at Crystal Fountains Inc, an international leader in the design and manufacturing of premium architectural water features. I design and develop electronics and firmware for fountain sequencing products such as LED lights, motors, and DMX/RDM equipment.
