About Me

Hello, if you read this far then congrats! I'm from CEG @ uOttawa usually researching and developing prototypes related to ESP32/RP2040 embedded systems and electronics hardware design. Aside from that, I also do things such as CAD design, digital systems, and low-level programming.

I've also been restoring/repairing computers since 2019, as well as 3D printers, air conditioners, bikes, PEVs (e-scooters, e-bikes, etc.) and many other electronic equipments. Apart from hardware I also do mostly signal simulation related stuff.

Latest Project

Chimera iXY v2.0

Custom High-Speed CoreXY 3D Printer

A fast 3D Printer using CoreXY kinematics, built from two different bedslingers; the Flsun i3 2017 and Mingda Magician X. Demonstrating the usability of RepRap in modern printers.

Still printing. Still free. Still RepRap.
