Gestura — TinyML gesture-to-text glove, model running on-device (capstone, in progress)
Tiny Tapeout — my first digital design taken all the way to fabricated silicon (next)
The Workbench — an interactive 3D engineering portfolio (in progress)
There are two sides to what I do. On the software side I build, code and train ML models and push them for better accuracy. On the hardware side I build with microcontrollers and sensors. The thing I keep coming back to is putting those two together: running a trained model directly on a microcontroller so a small, cheap chip can read a sensor stream and work out what it means on its own, with no cloud and no phone attached. Get that right and it drops into almost any piece of electronics.
Outside of that goal I just like poking at both worlds. On the hardware side I'll pick up a component I've never used, run it until I find where it breaks, then wire a few of them into something of my own. Sometimes that means rebuilding a device that already exists, but as my own system from scratch. On the software side I keep up with where AI is heading and pay close attention to the startup side of it.
Roughly oldest to newest, so the arc shows.
IC Calculator. My first real build. A working calculator from two ICs (a binary counter and an impulse/clock generator), wired together by hand.
DIY Flipper Zero. A CC1101 radio, a PN532 NFC reader and a stronger IR stage on one board. I used it to read our school cafeteria cards, clone a few keys and drive the building's IR devices (all with permission).
Claude Usage Display. A small physical readout of my live Claude token usage and when the limit resets, because hitting the cap mid-task with no warning is genuinely maddening.
Datasheet → Register Map. Takes a chip's datasheet PDF and turns it into a verified register map plus a working driver. This one leans software/SaaS.
Gestura (capstone). A glove that reads finger movements and turns them into text — six IMUs fused on-device, the model trained and then run entirely on the microcontroller. The clearest version of the thing I'm after.
Tiny Tapeout (next). Taking a small digital design all the way to fabricated silicon.
The things I actually reach for, not everything I've touched.
