Mechatronics · FUTOCalabar, then the road

I build things. I really like building things.
Mechatronics at FUTO. I write firmware that reads a room and interfaces that react to you, and I care about the distance between the two(You observe that rhyme?🙂↔️). Most of what I know I taught myself.

01The work
Hardware that reports. Software that reacts.
These are running right now and you can click straight into them. Others are paused or still being built, and they stay on the site either way — a portfolio that only shows finished things is an advert.
02The range
Different interests. One direction.
Robots, firmware, film, data, guitar, even the court. They’re all different, but they share the same idea: something is always moving. That’s the thread tying all of them together, and it’s not a coincidence.
I sing, play guitar, research, write, used to draw, speak, make people laugh, study, work out, run, play basketball, edit video, shoot content, build robots, write firmware, ship products.

No percentages anywhere. A number is a claim. A link to firmware is proof.
03The turn
What I stopped believing
“Hard work beats talent, and when the two meet, the impossible is within reach.”
I used to think talent was everything: no talent, no greatness. I also thought talent and hard work lived in separate worlds. I was wrong about both. I'm a living testimony.
What that looks like in practice
One formal training
One year of data science at Aptech. That is the entire list.
Everything else, self-taught
Firmware, full stack, editing, cinematography, speaking, game development.
Still going
Game development is genuinely hard. I would rather say that out loud than skip past it.
04Now
What I'm up to
Small, honest, and always moving.
Building
AURA
Extending the platform. Firmware, telemetry, verification.
A Godzilla game
Game development. Genuinely the hardest thing so far.
Learning
Mechatronics, 100 level
Mechanical, electronic and software, taught as one thing.
Research
FUTO-RISERS, Sustainable Energy and Green Technologies cluster. Work has begun.
Game development
From scratch, self-taught, slowly.
Restarting
Video editing
All the old professional work was lost. Building the reel back.
Trex Media
Stale, not dead. Looking for people to restart it with.
05Being me
Guitar, court, road
The part a résumé cannot hold.
“He believes in potential, he believes in those who don't believe in themselves, and honestly that's such a goated thing.”
“He's a great guy and isn't afraid to say things as they are.”
“He doesn’t compromise. What must be, must be.”
“Very annoying but sweet individual.”
06 / Open doorNot just hire me.
Not just hire me.
Build something with me.
This is not really about getting a job. It is about building something meaningful with people who actually matter. Trex Media is looking for people. AURA is still moving. If any of that sounds like your kind of problem, say so.
