Projects I've worked on

EMF Hauler

A "go-kart" or small EV built for EMF 2024 to move me & my belongings around site. An unfortunate failure (but with future plans!) yet to be documented on my blog.

LibreCellular

A previous work project in which I designed (hardware, RF path and mechanical design) a 4G hardware-in-loop automated test system for evaluating software changes made to a Software Designed Radio driver.

More info.

RS ESDK

Another work project where I did hardware and software development for an environmental sensing platform using a Raspberry Pi SBC. This published metrics to the Grafana cloud platform.
