Things I made that aren’t on a résumé. Some of it is engineering that went sideways, some of it isn’t engineering at all.
A bricked Seagate ST3160318AS wired to a USB-TTL adapter — talking to the drive’s diagnostic serial port to bring it back. Labelled 1337MB, naturally.
A state machine with the transitions wrong put a relay into a loop, switching fast enough to be audible. For about a minute the circuit was a drum machine.
An Assassin’s Creed costume, built entirely out of paper.
Building a scenic model out of discarded material for a garbage-design contest.
It came second.
A keychain drawn freehand with a 3D pen.
A self portrait, 3D printed.
A rig built to characterise Peltier plates, because the datasheet was not enough.
The last day of Google Summer of Code, clearing the final column of the kanban.
