Software Engineer & Arcade Expert Discusses Classic Arcade Games (Neil Bradley)
Neil Bradley is a Portland native self proclaimed geek, (largely) self-taught computer software and electronics engineer, co-owner of the Ground Kontrol classic arcade and bar, and amateur music producer.
He spent his formative years as a hobbyist working with early home computers, such as the Apple ][+ and TRS-80 computers, and later turned that into a 25 year career as an engineer at Intel. As a young kid, he grew up in the early days of video games.
Neil later took his love of video games and all things electronic to the next level - he, along with several others, purchased Ground Kontrol, a classic arcade (at the time) and helped turn it in to a classi arcade and bar - Ground Kontrol - located in downtown Portland, Oregon @ 115 NW 5th avenue. He now works with and trains its technicians to maintain old school video games and pinball machines.
As a classically trained pianist, Neil combined his love of music and computers and switched his focus to music production, and currently has a private studio with a wide collection of synthesizers and classic audio equipment and offers his views on personal tastes in music and the music industry in general.
