Stéphane Padrao
Engineer by training, Product Manager by trade, maker by choice. From a scribbled idea to a circuit board in production. I write about product, design and tech.

About
I spent years drawing electronic schematics. Product caught up with me. Designing a product means assembling constraints: technical, usage, market, production. Now a Product Manager, I also build my own tech projects on the side. The engineer-PM combination is rare. What I see from both sides, I share here.
