Product Engineer

Anant

This mischievous child was always taking electronics apart and examining their innards. Little circuit boards and tiny gears and screws fueled his imagination (he ingested a few specimens along the way), and although inevitable punishments forced him to put these parts back together (superglue optional) eventually, the things he took apart functioned again. That was a young Anant Handa, our product engineer, in the making. As an adult, his creativity has flourished in the technological realm, although we can never be too careful with those tiny parts lying around. He really has developed a taste for circuitry!

Teachers teach. Writers write. And teacher/writers teach science. A science teacher with a love affair with words and writing, Robert Lega aspires to be accepted for his internal compositions. Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to a literature enthusiast mother and passionate father, Robert grew to admire a well written sentence as much as a well executed deep pass from Brett Favre. After relocating and falling in love with Chicago, Robert’s love for writing has lead him to transcribing his thoughts and feelings about teaching and his experiences to share with the masses. When he’s not writing or sharing his deepest sentiments with people, Robert recalls rap lyrics, watches and discusses NFL games, or educates Little Village adolescents about Newton’s Law of Motion.
