Welcome to My Engineering Documentation¶
This is the technical documentation space for my personal engineering projects.
Documentation still under construction
I started this documentation for Zig, my animatronic robot, in late August 2026, and I'm adding to it as time goes on. I work on this alone, and a good documentation is almost a project on its own — this one is barely a month old, so it's incomplete in places and some pages aren't available yet. Feel free to check back later for a page you're looking for if it isn't there now.
Documentation for my other projects will follow later this year.

What I Do (100% Homemade)¶
I design and build complete robotic systems from scratch, covering every stage of engineering:
- CAD & 3D Modeling (Mechanical design, kinematics, chassis)
- Electronics & Wiring (Power architecture, bus communications, sensor integration)
- Programming & Firmware (Embedded C/C++, real-time control, Python)
- System Engineering (Global architecture, inter-module communications)
- Component Selection & Sourcing (Hardware evaluation, trade-offs, datasheets)
- Fabrication & Assembly (3D printing, wiring, physical integration)
- Artificial Intelligence (LLMs, STT/TTS pipelines, animatronic expressiveness)
- Project Logistics & Thermal Design (Power distribution, cooling, transport)
Projects Overview¶
