I'm an engineer who designs. I build hardware and software with a design-first mindset, from 5G rovers and custom PCBs to a solar-powered homelab and photography.
Everything I make sits at the intersection of engineering and design. Here's the full picture, without the page-hopping.
Grounded in function, guided by human experience, and driven to make things that feel like art.
I believe every engineer should be a designer, grounded in function, guided by experience.
Videos that add meaning and communicate a project's vision.
Posters and interfaces that communicate instantly, without friction.
A toolkit I reach for daily, from raster and vector to 3D and motion.
Photography sharpens my perspective, attention to detail, and approach to design.
Builds spanning engineering, design and homelab infrastructure. Read a chaptered summary on any card, or open the full article.
Flagship Hardware BuildMy most ambitious build: a radio-controlled vehicle with three live video streams over 5G, full telemetry, and a complete sensor suite, designed enclosure to firmware in three weeks.
Flagship Software BuildThe toolkit below is the sum of these projects, mostly self-taught, one problem at a time.
A 5G radio-controlled vehicle with 3 live video streams, GPS, a laser system, gyroscope and more. My most ambitious build.
A private, invite-only online book reader with live reading-together presence, per-reader resume, a SQL-enforced content gate, webtoons and shared reading stats. Next.js and Supabase.
An ESP32 messenger with 2-way voice over ESP-NOW and text over LoRa. Custom PCB in KiCAD, case in Onshape, all self-taught.
A voice-controlled smart-room assistant on an ESP32, with Whisper and a DeepSeek LLM via OpenRouter turning speech into one JSON command over MQTT.
A multi-node smart-home system on BeagleBone Black, Python and SocketIO, with a live dashboard and a 3D Spline view.
My first school project: a 6-part 3D-printed water dispenser powered by an Arduino Uno and driven with PyFirmata.
A freezer safety system on M5Stack. ToF and PIR sensors catch a worker trapped in a walk-in freezer, then a timer and alarm raise help.
A conceptual product designed and presented for a communication-skills project, with 3D scenes built in Blender.
My ultralight 20g take on the ZeroMouse, built to play a little better in FPS games.
A KiCAD recreation of my school's dev board, made because I couldn't bring the original home.
My first fully functional website, built with HTML and CSS as the final assignment for my web development class.
A Paper server running Dynmap, a live and interactive map for the multiplayer world.

A few of the school projects above were team efforts. Here are the people I built them with, and what we made together.
My homelab runs a stack of self-hosted services on solar export credits, with Ubiquiti networking and open-source Docker apps behind it. Lately I'm leaning more toward cloud hosting too, so this site itself now lives on Vercel.
