I tinker with DIY electronics and hardware hacking in my spare time — doodads, devices and technology that would otherwise end up in a drawer. This site is a running log of what I'm building and my academic and professional experiences.

MacBook Air display revival
Turning a 2014 MacBook Air's 13" LED panel into a standalone HDMI monitor using an LVDS controller board — currently confirming pinout compatibility before sourcing parts.
Should be complete soonish but it's really hard to source a compatible controller board.
finished
ESP32 camera build
Cool oldschool camera/camcorder.
Not the best quality, but it gets the job done for a dev board which cost less than £10.
Here are some shots of my friends and I!
