Scott Heeschen

Software Engineer

After a 6-month tour of the National Parks and Monuments in the western United States, Scott, at age 2, found himself in Huntsville, Alabama. It took him 16 more years before he went off to college, where he studied electrical and computer engineering. Figuring he had learned enough to make a living at it, he moved to Silicon Valley, where he now lives on a small urban orchard.

Most of his career was spent designing computer chips with features too small to be seen with the naked eye, so he’s really appreciating the chance to work with SCINI where the software he writes and hardware he designs can move around in the real world. Probably also in reaction to working on such virtual, abstract devices in his earlier career, Scott has turned increasingly to the outdoors to feel more grounded - anything from building trails in the Santa Cruz mountains to smelling the sulfur at the top of Mt. Shasta, or hiking from Mexico to Canada with everything he needed strapped to his back. Scott is looking forward to experiencing another set of outdoor experiences on the roundest continent on the Earth.
