Ruby Lee

Job Titles:
  • Electronic Engineer
Ruby Lee is an electronic engineer who took on the challenge of reducing the size of the original AudioMoth design to create µMoth, whilst maintaining the same functionality and quality. Ruby enjoys miniaturising PCBs and gets huge satisfaction from even removing just a millimetre from a design, unfortunately microSD cards are not micro enough, so she had to settle with a size of 32 x 24 mm.
