At five years old, an electronics starter kit introduced LEDs and stepper motors—and the hook was set. Electronics felt like the future. About a decade later, a new obsession arrived: computers.
Computers did become the next chapter. After school came a computer science and engineering degree, followed by full-time software engineering—the kind that pays for 40+ hours a week in front of a screen.
At 24, that early interest in electronics resurfaced, and the ecosystem had matured too. Open-source platforms like Raspberry Pi and Arduino made it easy to combine software skills with hands-on hardware.
Around the same time, work was paused to pursue higher education abroad, and an ACL replacement surgery forced an unexpected break. The upside: time to learn new tools (like JavaScript) and build a few projects to share.
This blog follows the adventure of building things while failing, procrastinating, and occasionally improving life with delightfully useless inventions.
