I'm a self-taught maker who picks up projects across hardware and software. No formal training, no special background — just curiosity and an internet connection. If I can figure this stuff out, so can you.
Build logs, gear teardowns, and half-finished ideas — newest first. Pick a topic or read the lot.
Nothing under that topic yet.
I figure it out as I go. I use every resource available. I write it down. And done beats perfect — every time.
I rarely know what I'm doing when I start a project. That's the point. I pick something that seems interesting and learn whatever I need to make it work.
Google, forums, YouTube, documentation — I'm not proud. If it helps me understand something or solve a problem, I'll use it.
When I build something useful, I try to document it well. Partly for others, partly because I know I'll forget how it works in six months.
I'd rather finish something rough and improve it later than polish forever and never release it. Most of my projects have a version two for a reason.
Whether it's about a project, a shared interest, or just to say hey — I'm always happy to hear from people.
