A
Engineering
From first principles to field test.
Electrical engineering, wireless systems, product validation, manufacturing, and the stubborn details that turn an idea into something dependable.
Engineer · Photographer · Builder
Systems, stories & the space between.
I'm Eric Barkhouse—an engineer and photographer working where hardware, software, and careful observation meet.

Two ways of seeing
I like things that work in the real world.
My work has always been hands-on: taking a complex system apart, finding the signal in the noise, and putting it back together in a way that feels inevitable.
After nine years shaping wireless productization, validation, and manufacturing test at Apple, I'm now building at OpenAI. Away from the lab, a camera gives me another way to notice what matters—people, light, and the honest moment between poses.
