DIY electronics, 3D printing & smart home builds.

I design and build practical hardware projects that combine microcontrollers, 3D printing, electronics, and creative engineering — from smart home devices and IR controllers to custom tools, sensors, and functional prints.

The goal is to build useful, affordable alternatives to expensive products — often without cloud services, subscriptions, or proprietary hubs.

Browse by build type:
🏠 Smart Home Builds — ESP32, Home Assistant, Zigbee, IR control & automation
🔧 Useful DIY Electronics & Tools — practical devices and workshop solutions
🖨️ 3D Printing Fixes & Functional Prints — real-problem prints, enclosures, prototypes and custom parts
🎲 Weird & Fun Tech Builds — slightly ridiculous ideas that are still technically functional

If you enjoy practical DIY tech, clever builds, and making hardware yourself, you’re in the right place.
