Notes
A public notebook. Not polished posts, just honest notes on what I am building, thinking about and planning. Updated as things change.
See what I'm doing right nowCurrently Building
Full-stack predictive maintenance platform. Four hardware nodes: ESP32 primary (11 sensors), STM32 Black Pill (100Hz FFT vibration in HAL C), Arduino Nano (secondary sensors) and Raspberry Pi Pico 2W (MicroPython ambient node). FastAPI backend, Isolation Forest anomaly detection, Next.js live dashboard. Actively building the hardware layer and firmware.
Bare metal AVR C project on an ATmega644P. Working through a structured curriculum from basic GPIO to a nine-mode state machine with interrupts, PWM, ADC and a Tetris melody. Sessions are documented with notes and lab files. Still actively being extended.
A structured learning site built alongside working through an executive education business analytics course. Covers probability, statistics, Python, descriptive analytics, machine learning and prescriptive optimisation. Publishing notes and interactive tools module by module.
A terminal-style personal site that will evolve into a business presence. The direction is not fully set yet - it will likely serve whatever venture comes next. Keeping the terminal aesthetic for now and using it as a playground for ideas. Suggestions welcome via the contact form or by typing 'suggest' in the lab terminal.
Upcoming Projects
World Cup 2026 AI Predictor
An AI system trained on every World Cup result in history to predict group stage outcomes, knockout results and the eventual winner of FIFA World Cup 2026, hosted across the USA, Canada and Mexico.
Prosthetics and Health Technology Research
A personal research project into ocular prosthetics, bionic vision and bio-integrated electronics. Motivated by losing sight in my right eye to retinoblastoma at age two. I want to understand where the science actually stands and where the engineering challenges lie.
Summer 2026 Plans
Summer 2026 is about building things that matter and documenting them properly. The plan:
- →Prepare for next academic year - reviewing modules, getting ahead on coursework and sharpening fundamentals
- →Learn FPGA development and VHDL - starting from scratch and working up to real hardware designs
- →Get serious about competitive programming - consistent Codeforces practice and improving my rating
- →Publish the remaining blog posts and keep the newsletter active with regular issues
- →Complete the avr-zac state machine project and document it fully
- →Start the World Cup AI predictor project (see above)
- →Begin deep research into retinoblastoma, ocular prosthetics and bio-integrated health technology
- →Study fields outside engineering and tech - business, psychology, economics and anything else worth understanding
