Welcome, traveller,

You've reached my humble site, where I log information on my engineering projects, for others to learn from and to give structure to my journey and my mind. You can see an overview of my projects, or see the log where I'll be posting updates. I'm an engineer at General Motors, working on connecting vehicles to the cell network.

My Projects

See detailed descrpitions and guides in the gallery. But here is an overview of what I'm working on and have worked on:

• My Homelab -- A Dell Optiplex 3060 connected to 28 TB of HDDs, operating on TrueNAS SCALE and serving as a personal media server. I store documents, music, photos, movies, and TV shows on there, which are served over the internet through various apps like Immich (Google Photos alternative), Emby (Netflix alternative) or Nextcloud (Google Drive alternative).
• Microcontrollers -- I am learning how to use the new CH32V003 microcontroller from China, which costs about 10¢ and is built on RISC-V. This thing can both replace an Arduino in a circuit, and be soldered onto a PCB board, very handy for logic control.
• Power Supplies -- Designing a power supply for a friends project, and since good documentation can be hard to come by for analog electrical engineering, I will be making short guides here for others to follow.

Things That Interest Me

As for non-techincal things:

• Languages -- Learning mainly Irish Gaelic, which is taught widely in Ireland but still endangered; getting along with a shallow knowledge of Latin and Greek, French and Italian, translating from Spanish, and deeply studying the hardest of them all, English.
• Nature -- Being in it, hiking, camping, sailing, exploring the world at the human pace; and the nonprofit that me and my friends put together called the Native Bloom Initiative and which plants pollinator gardens around New Jersey.
• History -- especially Antiquity, the Romans and the archaic Greeks, the Scythians and the European barbarians.
