Electronics

Individually addressable LED strips controlled by ESP8266/ESP32 running WLED, integrated with Apple HomeKit and Home Assistant to respond to time of day, calendar events, and sensor data.

LEGO has been part of how I think, learn, and express ideas since I was young.

A standardized test robot built from LEGO for repeatable, reconfigurable multi-motion and vision testing — because having a reliable test platform is the difference between debugging code and debugging hardware at the same time.

A full-body wearable LED suit — programmable, camera-equipped, and built entirely by hand — that taught more about power budgets, wearable ergonomics, and heat dissipation than any datasheet.

Projects where hands meet materials — woodworking, electronics, mechanical assembly, and the satisfaction of building something that functions in the physical world.

Projects wiring up the home with sensors, automation, lighting, audio, and climate systems — learning IoT and embedded hardware by living inside it.

Systems manage production, materials, workflows, and capacity in physical goods environments.

Multi-language robotics programming across NI hardware for FRC mentorship — maintaining parallel codebases for the same robot behaviors to understand what's universal versus what's a language artifact.

A system for syncing and displaying family photos across Echo Show devices — where the hard problem turned out to be curation, not display.

Projects exploring radio systems, ham radio, LoRa, Meshtastic, RC control, and the infrastructure of communication at the edge of the network.
