// WHO

An engineer's engineer — systems thinker, electrical domain, embedded software veteran. Day job runs across aerospace, defense, radar, and RF systems. Nights and weekends: workbench chaos, solder fumes, oscilloscopes, and projects that have no business working but somehow do.

This site is the archive. The build logs nobody asked for. The math nobody wants to read. The photos of things that actually got built.

// domain.01
RF & Radar
Software-defined radio experiments, radar signal processing, antenna builds, PNT systems, and spectrum analysis. The deep end of the electromagnetic rabbit hole.
SDR PNT Radar Antenna GNSS
// domain.02
Electrical
PCB design, mixed-signal circuits, power electronics, high-speed digital. From schematic capture to populated board — the full hardware lifecycle.
PCB KiCad Analog Power FPGA

// domain.03
Embedded Software
Firmware, RTOS, bare-metal drivers, bootloaders, and the beautiful chaos of hardware-software co-design at the edge of timing constraints.
C/C++ RTOS Drivers ARM DSP
🔧
// domain.04
Mechanical & DIY
CNC, 3D printing, machined parts, jigs and fixtures, custom enclosures. Everything that needs to physically exist before the electrons can flow.
CAD FDM CNC Fab Sheet Metal

// domain.05
Nerdy Math
Signal processing theory, statistical estimation, Kalman filters, Fourier analysis, link budget math, and the occasional rabbit hole into numerical methods.
