I build real world prototypes and the systems around them - workshop builds, radio experiments, and web tools that pull live data.
I design and build real world systems. Anything from mechanical workshop projects through to radio experiments, and web tooling and much more.
I like projects that have practical application to the real world, and all the phases of planning and building that are included throughout.
I work best when the solution has to be practical, explainable, and reliable, and then documented properly.
A brief dive into how I work.
What I’m good at and what I actually enjoy doing.
From idea to working thing. Fast iteration, practical choices.
Mechanical mods, fabrication, making parts do what they need to do.
Power, switching, controls, keeping it reliable.
FM and RF experiments and communication tests.
Astro, APIs, Cloudflare. Clean, fast, and maintainable.
I build, I film, and I explain the story clearly.
What I’m actively working on right now.
Taking a kid’s ride-on car and giving it the power of two stroke: custom chassis, full electrics, brakes, and a clean control setup. Not just a prop, a proper build.
Builds and experiments. More write ups coming.
A motorised drift trolley build. Lightweight, chaotic, and surprisingly controllable once dialled in. Filmed and published.
Built using a car FM transmitter and upgraded into a longer range local broadcast experiment for emergency style messaging. Able to broadcast speech, tones, and music.
A finished build project. One of those ‘because I can’ experiments, documented with care and restraint.
If you’ve got a project, collaboration, or anything mildly out of the ordinary, I’m interested.
