Hey there, I’m John Teel, a product design engineer, serial entrepreneur, and the founder Predictable Designs and the Hardware Academy.


As a senior design engineer at Texas Instruments I designed dozens of successful electronic microchips. My designs can be found in all kinds of popular electronic devices including some from Apple and Intel. You likely own a product or two with one of my chip designs inside.


Before starting Predictable Designs, I founded a hardware startup named MicroLite Tech that developed and manufactured consumer lighting devices. My product was sold in hundreds of retail locations across multiple countries.


In addition to developing the product I also oversaw manufacturing in China, marketing, trade shows, logistics, financing, and sales. I had a team of over 20 sales representatives across the U.S. selling my product at one point.


For the past 5 years my full time passion has been helping entrepreneurs like you to develop and bring new electronic products to market. Over 42,000 hardware entrepreneurs just like you have subscribed to my Predictable Designs blog.


I received my Master’s in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) degree from the University of Texas with a focus in Microelectronics.
