Why I Still Love Assembly

Electronicsβ€’March 2026

In a world of high-level frameworks, there's something magical about pushing bits directly into registers...

RF is Just Magic With Math

RF & Wirelessβ€’February 2026

Invisible waves carrying information through the air? That's not technology, that's wizardry with equations...

Debugging Robots: A Love-Hate Relationship

Roboticsβ€’January 2026

Software bugs are annoying. Hardware bugs are expensive. Robot bugs? They can literally run away from you...

AI: Separating Hype from Reality

AI & Machine Learningβ€’December 2025

Everyone's building AI. Most are just using if-else statements with extra steps...

Teaching Tech: The Art of Explaining Complexity

Teachingβ€’November 2025

The best way to learn something? Try to teach it. The best way to humble yourself? Try to teach it well...

Living in Both Worlds: Analog vs Digital

Electronicsβ€’August 2025

Digital is discrete and perfect. Analog is continuous and messy. I love them both, and here's why...

Database Modeling: Where Data Dreams Live (or Die)

Database & ETLβ€’March 2026

From ER diagrams to ETL pipelines, the art and science of making data behave...

Random Tech Confessions πŸ€“

⚑

I still have a drawer full of random resistors, capacitors, and ICs that I'll "definitely use someday"

πŸ“‘

I once spent 6 hours debugging an RF circuit only to find I had the antenna connected backwards

πŸ€–

My first robot crashed into a wall so many times, I named it "Determination"

πŸ’Ύ

I learned assembly before Arduino existed. Kids these days have it too easy with their libraries! πŸ˜„

πŸŽ“

Teaching someone to code gives me more joy than writing code myself (most days)

πŸ”§

I believe every software engineer should build at least one circuit. Nothing humbles you like magic smoke.
