What I'm tinkering with now.
A small, honest snapshot of the builds getting attention and the questions waiting just behind them.
Snapshot updated
01 / on the bench
Building
E-ink Desk Dashboard
buildingA low-distraction display for the useful things I check at a glance.
Latest: Real device media and build notes have not been published here yet.
Co-desk
buildingA quiet e-ink workbench signal for Codex runs that need a glance or a response.
Latest: The first 800 by 480 browser preview now covers active, waiting, usage, history, and pet states with simulated data.
AI Note Taker
buildingAn ESP32 note-taking experiment for capturing and distilling conversations.
Latest: The research direction is recorded; no recording or summary claims are published yet.
PayPulse v2
buildingA product rebuild focused on separating business logic from the interface and making the app easy to run locally.
Latest: The thread history covers extracting core business logic into v2 and running a UI-only local demo when backend data is unavailable.
NFC Automations
buildingSmall physical triggers that connect a phone, a tag, and an everyday action.
Latest: The workflow distinguishes what the NFC tag stores from what Android automation apps do after the tag is scanned.
02 / next experiments
Ideating
3d-printing
Workbench Organisers
Modular trays that give small tools and loose parts a clear home.
The first portfolio entry uses concept media while real object photos are prepared.
3d-printing
Kopi Keycaps
Coffee-inspired keycap forms for a small tactile desk experiment.
The concept visual is ready; truthful print and fit notes are still to be added.
electronics
ESP32 Brew Logger
A compact experiment for recording coffee brews at the workbench.
The portfolio records the build direction without claiming prototype results.
apps
Kopi Timer
A focused timer concept for repeatable coffee routines.
The visual direction is represented; working app behaviour is not claimed.
craft
Craft Field Notebook
A hand-bound notebook idea for sketches, measurements, and build notes.
The idea is captured as a concept while materials and binding choices stay open.
electronics
Pocket Pixel Cafe
A tiny pixel-display idea for ambient coffee and workshop moments.
A deterministic blueprint now records the idea without pretending a prototype exists.
3d-printing
Bambu Lab Design Workflow
A practical fabrication thread about adapting, editing, and finishing printable designs.
The project family currently records the design workflow; model-specific photos and files remain to be attached to individual builds.
3d-printing
Editable CAD Workflow
Finding a path from downloaded models to designs that can actually be changed.
The project is about finding an editable design path rather than treating every downloaded STL as a finished endpoint.
3d-printing
Image-to-Model Tracing
Turning a visual reference into a printable or editable starting point.
The thread history records importing an image to trace; the finished model and print evidence are not yet attached.
