+ As 2020 comes to a long-overdue close and we head into what anyone can hope will be a slightly less chaotic new year, it also edges closer to what will soon be two years leading product with [Social Mobile](https://socialmobile.com). With the results of all the hard work now materialising, I think it’s interesting to reflect on the last >18 months, what it’s lead to, and what’s next. *Note: The following is a personal take on a work-related topic.

I think it's about time to change that, so in this article I'll cover off a hardware project, one of the first I took on when I joined an OEM way back in 2019 in fact, having not built devices before.
