Hey! I'm Joey Sorkin
I build hardware, embedded systems, and full-stack tools.
Electrical Engineering & Applied Mathematics dual degree student at Boston University, passionate about robotics, controls, and making.
About Me
Hi—I’m Joey. I study Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics at BU. I love building things that combine physical hardware with intelligent software: custom electronics, embedded systems, automation tools, and connected devices. I’m happiest when I’m solving problems end-to-end—whether that’s laying out a PCB, optimizing code on a microcontroller, or designing a backend that ties everything together.
When I'm not coding or designing circuits, you can find me making music with my friends, working on creative projects, or exploring Boston.
