Timothy Gilbert processed his first roll of film in the eighth grade and was later a photographer for his high school yearbook and newspaper. His career in photography was short-circuited by his equally strong interest in computers and engineering.
He holds a MS degree in engineering; served four years in the USAF and has worked in numerous engineering roles for fortune 500 companies. Tired of the big corporate grind, he founded JEM Innovation sixteen years ago to focus on embedded processing and product development.
