6 projects

ESP32-S3 · Arduino · OLED

A pocket-sized arcade with a lifetime press counter, a timed speed round, and saved high scores. One mechanical switch handles play and initials entry; a custom 3D-printed enclosure brings the display, board, and wiring together.

Raspberry Pi 5 · Touch display · GPS

A handheld night-sky explorer and constellation sketchbook. The prototype pairs a Raspberry Pi, touch display, GPS, and orientation sensor with a Rust interface for exploring the sky and creating custom constellations. Enclosure prototypes focus on component fit and usability.

ESP32-S3 MP3 Player

Working playback

ESP32-S3 · Arduino C++ · microSD · I²S

An embedded audio prototype, from failed playback tests to working music. Independent SD and DAC tests narrowed the investigation to streaming and decoding; updating ESP32-audioI2S preceded successful playback in October 2025.

Command-line programs · Persistent storage

Programs built with linked data structures, classes, inheritance, iterators, and dynamic memory. Practiced modular C and object-oriented C++, using compiler warnings and test cases to work through pointers, input handling, and binary data.

Brass & Barley

Game project

Minecraft · Create · Personal build

A custom Minecraft modpack centered on mechanical building, farming, and brewing. A curated mod list, compatibility fixes, and an in-game quest guide turn a collection of mods into a connected experience.
