leds make everything better

Things Electronic

I know just enough to be slightly dangerous. I’ve learned what burning circuits smell like (if you know, you know) and have watched the dreaded blue puff of smoke rise from expensive components. But setbacks never stop me—I love creating weird and wonderful things with Arduinos, LEDs, sensors, motors, and whatever other stray components my YouTube feed convinces me I need.

I love making electronic projects that behave in organic and unpredictable ways—it’s always a pleasant surprise when the code actually works! I firmly believe LEDs make everything better. While I know enough to keep forks out of sockets, I generally steer clear of mains electricity.

I’ve designed a few custom PCBs, enjoy surface-mount soldering, and recently started dabbling with LTspice to level up my electronics game… now if I could just crack the mysteries of op-amps!
