Please help us give a warm CSEI welcome to our newest Design Assistant, Michael Malles!
He is currently studying Electrical Engineering at ECPI University Online. Michael has done many jobs in his life, from cooking vegan food for hundreds of people a day, to designing custom jewelry. He brings a sincere enthusiasm to learning about science, math, and engineering.
Michael lives with his partner Melissa, his son Julian, and his pet dog Shanti. He will soon be welcoming his second son into the world! On vacations, he enjoys going to the mountains with his family. Michael is a lifelong musician and enjoys playing music in his free time. He is also a well-known yoga teacher in the Gainesville area.
While growing up, you could most likely find Michael with his nose in the pages of a science fiction book. He gains inspiration from stories that explore the ideas of human creativity and resilience. Michael seeks to reimagine the engineer by engaging his unique perspective and sincere concern for the planet to create designs that make a difference.
Welcome once again Michael, we’re so glad to have you! To learn more about Michael, click here!

It’s safe to say 2023 is already off to an incredible start, and that's due largely in part to our incredible CSEI family! To kick this year off, we took some time away, and invited our team members and their significant others for a 3 day retreat out of town.
The days were filled with reflection, learning, team-building, working lunches and planning, and the afternoons and evenings were saved for fun! We can't wait to see what the rest of this year brings, and look forward to creating more impact together with you, our team, and our community!
