Predictable Designs with John Teel
View ChannelAbout
I teach how to develop, manufacture and launch new electronic products. I'm a former microchip design engineer from Texas Instruments, where I designed chips used in millions of products, including devices from Apple. I also developed and launched my own hardware product which sold in hundreds of retail stores, so I understand the entire journey firsthand. On this channel, I share everything it takes to go from idea to production: prototyping, PCB design, certifications, manufacturing, marketing, and scaling up.
