Hi, my name is Kaushik and for a school project, I need to interview a computer hardware engineer or some engineer that works in a field closely related to that (even mechanical engineering is ok). I apologize in advance as I know some other people have already asked similar questions but my teacher was specific about asking the exact questions I have typed below. Thank you very much for your time!

6. What is your current job title?

7. Please describe your particular job and duties.

Chronologically.

10. If you had it to do over, related to your career or education, would you do

career path similar to yours?
