S2E5 - Mohit Bhoite: Giving Life to Electronics

The Edge

~Plus Andrew Kleindolph on teaching digital fabrication in high school~ This week we speak with Mohite Bhoite. By day, Mohit is a senior electrical engineer at the IoT startup Particle, but come nights and weekends, Mohite is a full-time sculptor. Though the technique he uses, called freeforming or dead-bug-style circuitry, is one that you may have seen before, he takes it to a new level with his polished look and the way he’s able to embody character and express emotion with each of his circuit creatures. Each one could be cast as a character in a Pixar film. In this episode, Mohit shares more about how he assembles these freeform circuits and what initially inspired him to get started in electrical engineering.
