Community Member Spotlight: Leo Prinzi
Meet Leo Prinzi, Product Director for Carbice Corporation (an ATDC company!). When he’s not designing and developing their thermal interface products, Leo can be found working with a non-profit organization called Food 4 Lives.
“At Food 4 Lives, we serve out fresh vegetarian meals everyday to the homeless community in Atlanta. It's so nice being able to serve with friends and sharing a little part of our hearts with them.”
As part of our Community Member Spotlight series, we caught up with Leo about a favorite project he’s working on, an interesting fact about him, one thing he’d tell others about Tech Square ATL Social Club, and his favorite place to eat in the neighborhood.
Q: What's a favorite project of yours and why?
A: My favorite project right now is the product I am helping to develop called Carbice icebox. It's a material that the electronic industry has not seen anything like it and it outperforms everything that's being used today. I am very excited to get this product in the hands of our customers because it will help enable the next generation of electronics.
Q: What's something about you that's not on your resume?
A: When I used to live in the Dominican Republic, my brother and I would climb up this mango tree we had in our backyard and eat fresh mangoes. That's what life was all about back then, just eating fresh fruits right off the tree, not much else to worry about.
“My yoga teacher took me and some other students to Rishikesh, India in March 2020 right before the world shut down.”
Q: What's one thing you would tell people about Tech Square ATL Social Club?
A: Check out their events! It's a great place to network and learn. It's also a nice change of pace from work life.
Q: What's your favorite restaurant/cafe in the Tech Square neighborhood?
A:Tassili's Raw Reality Café is a must go-to.
