things i have built, am building, or thought about building
This Website
A pixel-art basement workshop site. You are inside it right now. Meta.
IoT Platform & Devices
Hardware prototypes + a platform to manage them. First prototype in progress. The goal: real users, recurring revenue, a small team.
Civic Engagement Platform
A tool to connect people with their local government in a way that actually works. MVP targeting a real community or municipality.
Permanent Cloud Chamber + HV Mod
Making cosmic radiation visible with a supersaturated alcohol chamber. The flagship bench project. High voltage modification in progress.
Geiger Counter + GPS Mapper
A portable radiation detector that logs location data. Maps background radiation as you move around. Practical and deeply weird.
Mini Tesla Coil (SSTC)
A solid-state Tesla coil that plays music through plasma. Because why wouldn't you.
Radio Telescope / H-Line Detector
Detect the 21cm hydrogen line emission from the Milky Way with a dish and an SDR dongle. Then write Python to process the signal.
EEG Brain Wave Detector
Read electrical activity from the brain, visualize it. Part curiosity, part wanting to understand what's actually happening up there.

Custom home automation stack — AC control & power monitoring over WiFi, temp/humidity over BLE, MQTT broker, and a task manager for orchestrating everything. No cloud. No subscriptions. No data leaving the house.
Kid-Friendly RPi Computer
A Raspberry Pi based computer designed for 3–6 year olds. Durable, simple, safe — no ads, no dark patterns, no infinite scroll. Just games, drawing, and learning.
Home Lab / Self-Hosted Stack
A home server running Jellyfin, assorted self-hosted services, and whatever else seems like a good idea at 1am. Ongoing infrastructure project.
Jellyfin Media Server
