Personal Projects

I have a wide range of interests; so whenever a topic piques my interest, I try to work on a project related to that given topic to gain some hands on experience. Below is a portfolio of my personal projects, feel free to click on any of them to learn more.

Macintosh SE/30

I love vintage computers, especially when they use CPU architecture that didn't make it into the modern age. The Mac SE/30 is considered one of the best of Motorola 68k Macintoshes. Sadly, these Macs are prone to capacitor leaks, which is an issue I had to deal with when fixing up this machine.

Busterswoop Keyboard

After becoming familiar and comfortable with neovim, I realized that switching to normal mode was a bit of a hassle. So I wanted a keyboard where escape was more accessible. That led me down a rabbit hole on low-profile ortholinear split ergonomic keyboards. After seeing what keyboard were available, I realized none of them fit the particular needs that I had, so I forked an existing design and made my own.
