Animating the Skeleton

Wiring up a 12ft Home Depot skeleton with servos, Arduino, and an iOS app — using ARKit to puppet a giant skeleton in real time from your phone.

I Hacked My AC

Mini splits don’t work with smart thermostats. So naturally, I wired an ESP8266 into the serial port.

Wireless Charging Truck Hack

I hacked wireless Qi charging into the center console of my 2012 truck, then added wireless CarPlay for good measure.

The Great Christmas Tree Experiment

Five years of individually addressable LEDs, ESP8266 microcontrollers, ARKit spatial mapping, and trying not to burn down the Christmas tree.

Custom PCBs & Wearables

Falling down the hardware rabbit hole — from first solder joints and OSH Park purple boards to custom SMD designs and an NRF52 LED baseball cap.

3D Printing

From a $200 impulse buy to a Prusa kit build — learning to design, print, and fix things (including the printer itself).

Hardware Tinkering

Falling down the Arduino rabbit hole, discovering ESP8266, the smart home journey from SmartThings to Home Assistant, and never looking back.
