I have worked on a few projects and these are one ones that I think are worthy of a mention here.

- krunchpad-20: krunchpad but with 20 keys.
- krunchboard-90: A 75% ANSI mechanical keyboard powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico with KMK firmware.
- usb-hub-v2: A 4 port USB hub that have both USB-A and USB-C connector for PC.

Photography!
I’m not very good at creative stuff, but I would say I am decent at taking photos.
There are many things I like to photograph, mainly landscape, cities, and airplanes!
I’ll showcase some here eventually…
Aviation!
I think aviation is pretty cool. The idea of being able to travel freely, far far away always interested me, in my free time, I like to fly around England in a flight simulator.
Electronics
I’m not the best at coding, but I am pretty good at making electronics, I love designing circuit boards and assembling them, it’s just like lego but more advanced :p
I’m also pretty good at soldering, I’d say most of my joints are perfect!
I’ve also soldered a few (4) 01005 resistors which in my opinion is quite impressive, for context, each resistor is about 0.2mm wide, which is just about the size of a grain of fine table salt!
Radio and RF
I have been interested in RF for quite a while, I remeber when I bought a software-defined radio dongle and started tracking aircrafts via ADS-B and Mode-S, I had so much fun just learning about radio frequencies. This wasn’t something I thought I would be interested in but I am so glad I discovered it.
I also learned about receving NOAA satellite images, particularlly the NOAA-15/18/19 satellites that transmits APT on 137MHz, I remember using a handheld radio and just recording the beeps of the APT signal, then later decoding them on SatDump.
I didn’t get many good quality images from it before they were decomissioned but here’s my favourite one.
Music!
When I’m not taking photos, or flying, or tinkering, I like to listen to music (or while doing those things), I listen to many things across multiple genres!
Here’s a collection of music I quite like:
Other things!
I don’t really like doing game-sports, although I do like hiking, rock climbing, and much more.
I quite like cooking, or things that I can see the results of my work!
Over the course of my life, I’ve set foot on 10 countries, those being (in alphabetical order): China, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Qatar, Taiwan, United Kingdom, and Vatican City.
Btw, most if not all of my projects are open source on GitHub, because where else would I store them :>
And as always, feel free to shoot me an email or direct message me anytime, anywhere, and for any reason :) Byeeeeeeeeeee.
