About
Hi, I’m Walter Teitelbaum, but I go by Walt. I’m an automation and mechatronics engineer in Seattle, WA. My work spans robotics, motion control, Python software, and manufacturing test systems.
I enjoy building useful things, learning from the people around me, and helping teams do good work together. I grew up in the East Bay.
This site is a small home for projects, notes, and the occasional write-up. You can read my resume, download a print version, or browse my posts if you’d like to see what I’ve been working on.
