A curated portfolio of engineering writeups and project documentation spanning software, electronics, and mechanical systems.

A small window into my work — the rest remains confidential or not publicly documented.

Engineering Domains

CAN bus diagnostics, EEPROM work, locksmithing, retrofits, harness fabrication, module repair, and full mechanical rebuilds.

Microsoldering and board rework, microcontroller & sensor integration, power electronics, and hardware‑in‑the‑loop debugging.

Web apps, system architecture, data pipelines, developer tooling, automation workflows, and API integrations.

Schematics, wiring diagrams, pinouts, quick‑reference tables, and field‑tested documentation from ongoing projects.

CAD modeling, 3D printing, custom tooling, fixture design, machining, and assemblies.

Cross‑disciplinary experiments, exploratory builds, and one‑off investigations.

Imports daily SmartHub energy usage into InfluxDB and Home Assistant, enabling simple monitoring via MQTT and Node-RED.

Push-button start and keyless entry retrofit with full OEM integration.

A lightweight Electron wrapper for ChatGPT, tailored for Intel Macs that can't run the official OpenAI desktop app.
