Hi! I'm Anthony Kouttron. I'm an electrical engineer and an alumnus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. You have arrived at my personal project website. Here you'll find articles ranging from repairing test equiment to reviving digital camera gear to manufacturing electronic hardware from scratch.
I have always enjoyed the physical and tangible nature in which hardware solves a problem. I decided to apply my experience and mechanical knowledge toward making devices of my own. Salvagedcircuitry serves as an avenue to share my projects and designs in efforts to create more sound and polished electronics, not just rushed penny-pinched designs.
Lately, I expend my efforts towards building fully functional, purpose-built hardware that blends the boundaries between practicality and functionality, and am an active member of the open hardware community.
