Engineering notes and project artifacts focused on telemetry, hardware behavior, protocol analysis, and practical systems research.
A public research utility for observing GPU telemetry behavior on Windows, with emphasis on the gap between device-level NVML readings and Windows/WDDM reporting surfaces under compute load.
A Home Assistant dashboard/example layer for WTG MQTT telemetry. WTG remains the driver-reported source of truth; Redline turns those raw values into arcade-style dashboard examples such as IDLE, LOAD, MAX, LIMIT, and SUS.
A no-nonsense ESPHome reference implementation for reading compatible BLE propane tank monitor advertisements with an ESP32 and exposing normalized level, sensor state, and RSSI entities in Home Assistant.
A Home Assistant field-cycle automation for nighttime shop heat extraction, using bay-door state, AC/heat state, outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, floor temperature, and a damper/fan to reduce hot mornings while preserving daytime AC operation and passive equalization behavior.
Instrumentation and automation research around shore power, electrical state, and environment-aware control loops. The goal is practical monitoring that can feed reliable automation without unnecessary platform complexity.
Concept work exploring multi-node Home Assistant deployments, coordination patterns, management surfaces, and system-level observability across local automation environments.
Restoration chronicle and technical notes for a Nintendo VS. UniSystem conversion in an original orange Donkey Kong Jr. cabinet, including cabinet provenance, board inventory, PPU/ROM relationships, repair logs, and photo evidence.
Evidence-driven reverse engineering of Game Boy communication protocols, peripherals, cartridges, and undocumented hardware behavior, beginning with the Singer IZEK and Jaguar JN sewing-machine interface.
An independent engineering record documenting the design and validation of a local browser-based assessment engine for SecAI+ CY0-001 preparation, including randomized runs, versioned question banks, persistent progress, confidence and review notes, mastery tracking, and complete run exports for evidence-based content review.
Smaller engineering projects, field fixes, and practical infrastructure builds that warrant documentation but not a dedicated repo. These are one-off artifacts, bench notes, hardware hardening passes, and edge-system experiments.
The intent is to keep the small wins visible without inflating them into full projects: enough context to make the work repeatable, enough measurement to make the result useful, and enough restraint to leave each artifact in its proper weight class.
