Adding an 18-inch Subwoofer to my Tiburon
A stock-minded car-audio build around an oversized JBL subwoofer, a borrowed amp, and the practical work required to make it fit cleanly.

Building with Tools and Materials
Working with tools and materials has been part of how I learn to build since junior high shop class first set me on that path.
Laser & Alarm System
An early DIY security prototype — a laser beam, a photoresistor, and a circuit to trigger an alarm — built before smart home meant buying a subscription.
LED Backpack
A portable, wearable LED display built into a backpack — same individually addressable technology as the house projects, but with battery power, outdoor visibility, and durability constraints.
LEGO Builds and Models
LEGO has been part of how I think, learn, and express ideas since I was young.
Light Suit with Camera
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.
Making and Craft
Projects where hands meet materials — woodworking, electronics, mechanical assembly, and the satisfaction of building something that functions in the physical world.
Van Power Issue
Diagnosed and fixed an electrical fault in the van by tracing wiring and testing circuits — a small project that illustrates how the same diagnostic thinking applies to a Kubernetes cluster and a 12-volt system alike.
