About Me

I’m a maker and developer passionate about IoT, automation, and creating solutions that bridge the physical and digital worlds.

Latest Project Updates

Here are my current projects - each one is an ongoing story of innovation and learning:

Last updated: 2025-10-12 C/ESP-IDF 📐 3D Models

An intelligent coffee bean dosing system that precisely measures and dispenses coffee beans based on brewing method, bean density, and desired strength. Currently in 3D modeling phase.

Latest Update

GitHub repository created with initial demo code. Currently designing the mechanical components and 3D models for the dispensing mechanism. Planning to use load cells for precise weight measurement and stepper motors for controlled dispensing.

GrowPod

Ongoing
Last updated: 2025-10-11 C/ESP-IDF 📐 3D Models

An automated hydroponic growing system with IoT monitoring, pH control, nutrient management, and growth tracking capabilities using embedded microcontrollers.

Latest Update

Researching sensor requirements and designing the system architecture. Planning to integrate pH sensors, nutrient pumps, and automated lighting control with ESP32 and NXP RT1062 processors.

Last updated: 2025-04-07 C/ESP-IDF 📐 3D Models

A network of interconnected weather monitoring devices creating a mesh network for hyperlocal weather data collection and prediction using ESP32 microcontrollers. Features a custom blockchain implementation between nodes to mitigate bad actors injecting false data. Nodes participate in an election process to take turns calculating the next block, with validation performed by the rest of the network to ensure data integrity.

Latest Update

Working on implementing the mesh network protocol using ESP32 devices. Successfully tested basic sensor readings and wireless communication between two nodes.

MIDI Box

Complete
Last updated: 2023-11-14 C++/Arduino

A digital signal processing device built on Teensy 4.1 (NXP RT1062) that takes MIDI input from keyboards and converts notes to user-selectable scales in real-time. Features an OLED display and rotary encoder for scale selection.

Latest Update

Project completed with full functionality. Users can select from various scales (major, minor, pentatonic, etc.) and root notes using the rotary encoder interface. All MIDI input is processed and converted in real-time.
