About
My name is Jeffrey Blum. I graduated from Brown University in December 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. After taking time to gain industry work experience at Modern Device, a small electronics firm in Pawtucket, RI, I moved to Pittsburgh where I completed a master’s degree in Robotics Systems Development at Carnegie Mellon University. As part of my degree program, I spent the summer of 2015 working as an intern at 4moms®, a Pittsburgh-based tech company that is revolutionizing the baby industry. I spent a few months post-graduation with Gecko Robotics in California as part of the Y Combinator accelerator. After my experience with Gecko, I was recruited to be Discovery Robotics' lead electrical engineer while they working on their initial launch product. Since then I have been working as a contract engineer, most recently for Abiomed Breethe.
I have always had a passion for robotics. When I was in grade school I was part of the First Lego League. I was chastised numerous times by my mother to stop tinkering and get my homework done. In high school, I was fortunate enough to take some programming courses and, after a short stint as a physics major in my freshman year of college, I found my true calling. After college, I came full circle and coached the First Lego League and First Robotics Competition teams at the Wheeler School in Providence, RI.
It is my goal to work in industry, creating robotic products that help people. I have also entertained the idea of starting a design firm that would bring robotics expertise and a unique development approach to both domestic and international companies that share my goal. I want to make the world a better place, and I truly believe that I can achieve this by building things that make people’s lives easier.
