About Ed
Ed’s background in electronic music, live performance, and graphic design gives him a visual and musical perspective when approaching the design of electronics.
Ed has performed with bands and DJs since 2001. He first got involved with bands to explore live video projecting, aka, being a Video Jockey (VJ). From there he got more and more interested in live and studio sound technology. He is especially interested in groups that bring the studio to the stage, using unorthodox gear that is normally not used on stage. The natural progression is now to create my own hardware to help people create in the studio and on stage.
About Matt
Matt originally started helping Circuit Happy in 2020 to when we started working with our first contract manufacturer. Matt re-designed the PCB layout for the original ML:2 eurorack module. He then helped communicate the design to our contract manufacturer. Matt went above and beyond to design a system to test and flash the firmware on the final assembled hardware. Matt also gave me lots of guidance on coding for the FreeRTOS system on the ESP32 platform. He now heads up our technical designs and makes things ever so much more professional and qualty than Ed is capable of doing on his own.
Collaborators
Circuit Happy teams up with various talented friends, depending on the needs of each project.
Nick Donaldson
Infrasonic Audio
Nick is the technical consultant on The Missing Link project. But that title falls short of describing how crucial Nick was to this project. Nick took on writing most of the C++ code base for the original Missing Link Desktop along with aiding and guiding me through the circuit board design for Missing Link. During the development of The Missing Link Junior we hired Nick to rewrite the codebase to have a tighter architecture that gave us a great foundation upon which to write new features.
Matt Hodson
MATTHS
Matt, aka MATTHS, is our marketing consultant. We first knew Matt as an artist who created great synth-oriented videos and recorded and performed cool music. We first met in person at Machina Bristronica in 2023 where we talked about how we could work together. Since then Matt has whipped our social media presence in to shape and has connected us to his network of other artists and creators to help us promote our products further out in to the wide world.
Karl is a Unix ninja who showed me the ways of bash scripting, cool file system tricks, and system optimizations. Without him, the original Missing Link Desktop would not have a Software Update tool, and it would have taken me ten times longer to set up each system to be ready for sale.
Mikey Maker is a talented screen printer in the Boston area. He printed my product boxes and also the faceplates for the original Missing link Desktop. Without his skills, Missing Link wouldn’t look as cool as it does.
