Eric
Lopez
The other elder brother, and the last of the three to be listed — a fact he has registered. Embedded hardware engineer: circuit boards, firmware, and the documentation nobody else volunteers to write. Terms are indefinite, the APR is zero, and no Lopez may be returned.
- 2Circuit boards authored end to end
- 6Programming languages, properly
- 3Years tutoring other people's hardest subject
He sits between the software team and the electronics team and translates. That is the entire job, and it is also the personality.

Objective
To be understood on the first pass, which is a thing he has spent a career making possible for other people and has rarely had done for him. Seeking a partner who shares the faith, who does not mistake quiet for uninterested, and who will let him finish the explanation — because the explanation is the affection. Willing to relocate. Not willing to ship it undocumented.
Executive Summary
Embedded hardware engineer at Vermeer since 2024, working as the liaison between the software team and the electronics team — the person who makes two groups that do not speak the same language build one thing together. Electrical engineering degree from Kennesaw State with a mathematics minor, passed the FE exam, Eagle Scout. Spent three years as a peer tutor in calculus, physics, chemistry and circuits, which is where the patience came from. Writes music. Quieter than his twin and not remotely the same person.
Datasheet (rider · forms part of the listing)
Every component he works with ships with one of these. It states what the thing will tolerate, what it needs to run properly, and what happens outside those bounds. Applied to a person it is only slightly a joke.
- Operating conditionsOne conversation at a time, with somebody who is actually in it. He runs well for hours in that mode and poorly in a room of forty for twenty minutes.
- Warm-upNon-zero. He is quiet at the start of an evening and this means nothing at all; the reading you take in the first ten minutes is not the steady state.
- InterfaceLiaison between two teams that do not share a vocabulary, professionally and by temperament. Hand him something you cannot explain and he will hand it back explicable.
- DocumentationWritten, and written before it is asked for. He is the one who leaves the note for whoever comes next, including when nobody will know it was him.
- ToleranceHigh on being wrong, low on being handled. Tell him plainly; he will thank you and correct it. Manage him and it will not land.
- Absolute maximumBeing talked over. Not because it wounds him — he simply stops, and you lose the thing he was about to say, which was usually the useful one.
Truth Table (digital logic · one gate)
His degree is electrical engineering with a mathematics minor and his stated interests include digital logic design, so this is the format the question actually deserves.
A = you asked · B = he knows the answer · Q = he explains it anyway
That is an OR gate. He is aware. The row that matters is the third one — you asked and he did not know — because the output is still 1: he will go and find out, and come back to you with it days later when you have forgotten you asked. The only state that produces nothing is the one where nobody wanted to know anything, and he is not the problem in that row.
Core Competencies
Additional skills: C, C++, C#, Python, Rust, MATLAB, Altium, SolidWorks; soldering something too small to see properly; composing music nobody has asked to hear and which is, by several accounts, good; and knowing which of two plausible explanations you actually wanted.
Professional Experience (all of it verifiable)
As with both of his siblings' listings, none of the following is a bit. It came off his actual résumé.
Embedded Hardware Engineer · Vermeer Corporation
Feb 2024 – Present- Liaison between Software Engineering and Electronics Engineering — the translator role, which he was given because he is good at it.
- Authored two circuit boards end to end: design, testing, documentation, assembly. Not "contributed to" — authored.
- Lead developer on an application, including the release management, the issue tracker and the bug reports. The unglamorous half, owned deliberately.
- Worked across microcontrollers, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and powerline communications, plus CAD from 3D prints to machined-part drawings.
- Wrote the test procedures and quality checks for assemblies, which is the documentation everyone benefits from and nobody volunteers for.
Peer Tutor · Kennesaw State University
Sep 2020 – May 2023- Three years explaining calculus, physics, chemistry and circuits to people having the worst week of their semester.
- Held proficiency across a genuinely wide range of subjects, which for a tutor means being re-taught by every student who does not get it the first way.
- His own résumé says he "became an effective communicator" there. That line is doing a great deal of quiet work.
Eagle Scout · Boy Scouts of America
Attained- The second Eagle Scout in the family. Both brothers, independently, which says something about the house they grew up in.
- Volunteered on storm relief rebuilding Camp Osborn — clearing and repairing communities, uncredited, and on the résumé anyway.
Education & Certifications
- Degree: BS, Electrical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics — Kennesaw State, 2020–2023.
- Passed: Fundamentals of Engineering, Electrical and Computer, State of Georgia.
- Research: Teleoperation of vehicles — undergraduate work on telecommunications.
- Built: An emergency-response geo-tracker, a load-cell display board, and a microcontroller programming utility. Two of the three were nobody's idea but his.
- Composes: Music. This is on the résumé, under interests, between mathematics and digital logic design, exactly where you would expect him to file it.
- Not certified: Cannot let a wrong explanation stand, even a harmless one, even yours, even in front of people.
Applicant Requirements (what we're looking for in you)
Required
- Shares the Catholic faith
- Does not mistake quiet for uninterested
- Lets him finish — the last third is where it gets good
- Says the real thing plainly rather than managing him toward it
Preferred
- Curious about something technical, or willing to become so
- Happy with one long conversation over a loud room full of short ones
- Will listen to a piece of music he wrote and say something true about it
- Can hold her own against a twin brother who talks more
Dealbreakers
- Talks over him — see Absolute Maximum Ratings
- "You're being too literal about this"
- Treats being corrected as an attack rather than information
- Rude to anyone whose job is to explain something
Compensation & Benefits
Vested immediately. Non-transferable. Not repayable, per the standing terms.
Explanation on Demand
Three years of tutoring people who were not getting it. Anything you have ever nodded along to without understanding, he will explain properly and without making you feel it.
Electronics Support
He authored two circuit boards. Your router, your soldering, the thing with the intermittent fault nobody else could reproduce — all in scope.
Documentation
He writes things down. Where it is, how it works, what he already tried. You will never again be the person reconstructing what happened.
Original Music
He composes. It is not a bit and it is not background — it is a whole side of him that most people never get shown.
Family Plan
One twin brother and one younger sister, both included, neither optional. All three are listed on this domain, which tells you what the family is like.
Full Coverage
Answers on the first ring, then goes and finds the answer you actually needed and comes back with it days later.
Attachments (submitted unprompted)
Photographs enclosed. Nobody requested photographs. Note how few of them he is looking at the camera in; that is not shyness, it is that somebody else is usually the reason the photo is being taken.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a joke?
Yes. Also no. It's a joke that would be extremely pleased to be taken seriously by the right person.
Are the twins identical?
No. Fraternal. Same birthday, same parents, and no more resemblance than any two brothers — which has never once reduced how often the question gets asked. It is logged on Adam's risk register at likelihood "certain", and this is the third page on this domain to answer it.
He went last. Does he mind?
He has mentioned it. Once, evenly, in a way that made it clear he had thought about it for a while first — which is exactly how he raises everything, and precisely why he should not have gone last.
Both brothers are Eagle Scouts?
Both. Independently. Neither will tell you the other one's is more impressive, which is itself the tell.
What's the quiet thing about?
He is quiet at the start of an evening and it means nothing. See the datasheet — the warm-up is non-zero, and the reading you take in the first ten minutes is not the steady state. Ask him one real question and the whole thing changes.
He writes music?
He does, and it is on the résumé under interests, filed between mathematics and digital logic design. Nobody who has only met him at work knows this. Ask.
Who made this website?
A friend. Eric found out about it the same way you did, read the whole thing, and sent back one correction — which was right.
References
Available on request. Expect his mother, a software team and an electronics team who will each independently describe him as the reason the other one is bearable, a queue of former tutees who remember him considerably better than he remembers them, and two siblings who were both listed before he was and know perfectly well that he noticed.
