👋 Hey there! I'm Aiden. I make things.

I'm a student at Purdue studying Computer Science with a focus on embedded engineering. I'm also a Hardware and Software Developer at Terranova where I use my skills to help solve the growing climate change crisis.

Some of my recent projects include:

• tqdb (source)
  • A portable, trait-based file database library written in pure C. Designed for embedded systems and resource-constrained environments. ~18Kb compiled / ~8Kb RAM.
• WiFi Nixie Clock (source) (Project Writeup)
  • An ESP32-powered WiFi Nixie Clock with addressable backlighting and an embedded USB-C PD sink. (C++)
• Desktop Sand Robot (source) (Project Writeup)
  • Smaller version of my Kinetic Sand Coffee Table that acts as a nightstand (C++/Vue)
• Swiftfin - Available on the Apple App Store (source)
  • iOS/tvOS frontend for the Jellyfin project that uses modern frameworks including VLCKit, Alamofire, and SwiftUI
• SmartMatrix (firmware) (Project Writeup)
  • ESP-IDF smart display connected to custom cloud backend using WebSockets and Redis that displays important information in a timely manner ( C++ w/ a microservice-based mixed TypeScript / Go backend )
