§ Projects
Built, then written up honestly.
Each project is a technical case study: the problem, the design and its trade-offs, high- and low-level architecture, the issues I hit and how I fixed them, and the scope that is planned but not built yet. Hardware projects double as build guides.

ScaleForge
A browser-only lab for backend architecture. Drop components on a canvas, drive seeded traffic through a deterministic flow engine, inject failures, and get graded against hidden scenarios. No accounts, no servers.

Offline BLE Peer-to-Peer App
An offline-first social and matching app for people in the same room with no internet. Phones act as both Bluetooth LE central and peripheral, exchange signed cards and likes, and conclude matches locally with no server in the room.

PicoPal
An ESP32-C3 desk companion with an animated OLED face, touch and hand-gesture input, synthesized sound and voice, a glue-gun pan-tilt head, a web dashboard, and Wi-Fi firmware updates that roll back on their own. Written up as a full build guide.
