Brainstorms unLtd.
Brainstorms unLtd. is a name which over the years (beginning around 1973) encompassed many different pursuits, most somewhat technology based. For the last 30+ years the primary focus of Brainstorms has been
- Printed Circuit Board Design
- Engineering Services help (documentation, release procedures, part numbers, standards, etc)
- Electronic Design Automation Software consulting / training / administration
- Database Design
- Electronic Product Design (actual design as well as process consulting)
Do you think you have your Printed Circuit Board Design
needs handled?
If you answered No to any of the above I may be able to help. Welcome to the professional web presence of David B. DeFebo aka Brainstorms unLtd. Brainstorms unLtd is the company that was formed in 1973 while
we were attending the Milwaukee School Of Engineering. Over the years Brainstorms has dipped its
toes in a variety of waters in an attempt to make some money. There have also been a
number of people involved in Brainstorms. In fact the Brainstorms unLtd (un-limited, and
yes, the non-standard capitalization was used many years before overpaid geek wanna-bees
made it trendy in the late 90's) name was coined by a fellow student. Since my being
removed from day-to-day employment at Eaton Corp R&D in 2001, it functioned
as an engineering consulting company specializing in Printed Circuit board
design, engineering services management, engineering software deployment and
use, engineering department computer operations, and with some associates,
general electronic product design. Products I have been involved in
the design of have earned numerous design awards and set sales records.
After many years helping companies to succeed in their product designs, I have
achieved a well deserved retirement. If you were responsible in bring work
to me/us over the years, thank you! If you were one of those who thought
you had a better idea and I was wrong or not needed, I guarantee I was not hurt,
but I do feel sorry for you. You are the one who missed out. All of
our work was to help your company succeed. That was our priority, not any
kind of weird personal ego-stroke.
I recall a product manager at Eaton R&D who was in charge of the last project I worked on at that company (as an employee), when the first prototype was fired up and everything worked, told me that after 25 years at the company and being involved in many projects, that one was the first time the first prototype actually worked. My response was, "You never worked with me before!"
I also have a web presence dealing with some of my personal interests including Amateur Radio (I am WB9BWP). If any of that interests you go here - http://www.wb9bwp.com
