About

Hello my name is Jay Vongphahcanh and I am an Embedded Software Engineer in Aerospace/Avionics industry.

I have prior experience in the industrial automation industry designing custom solutions for production identification at Matthews Marking Systems. In this role, I helped integrate the MPERIA platform into new or existing production line's.

My passions are in technology, food, and traveling. So far I have been to Laos, and the Philippines and Japan and plan on going to other countries in the future. My current interest in tech are in Robotics and IoT.

Aside from Engineering, I also co-founded Stardust Cafe, a small Boba Tea cafe, serving fun drinks and asian street food.Learn More

After going through an MBA, my next career goal is to take on more managerial roles. As I pursue this goal I will continue to learn more about the emerging technologies so that I can keep up with the latest trends.
