Side Projects & Hobbies
Personal Projects
Outside of engineering work, I spend my time building things, from my YouTube channel and vintage bikes to custom electronics and embedded systems.
Mechanics & Electronics
15 kW Electric Dirtbike Conversion
- Powertrain: QS138 mid-drive motor, 72V battery, and a VESC inverter running Field-Oriented Control (FOC) over CAN bus at 500 kbit/s
- Dynamic Controls: Progressive torque maps across 3 ride modes, traction control, wheelie control, variable regen braking, and throttle safety interlocks
- MoTeC Telemetry: 100 Hz blackbox logging decoded directly into MoTeC i2 Pro for powertrain calibration and thermal analysis
Mechanics
Yamaha 125 Café Racer Build
Undertook the complete modification of a 1993 Yamaha SR 125 into a café racer and scrambler style motorcycle. Bought in May 2020, the project was completed in December 2020 and was fully documented in a video series on YouTube. To date, the transformation videos have accumulated over 60,000 views.
Mechanics
BMW E30 Restoration
Undertaking the continuous restoration of my first car, a classic BMW E30. I have completed an extensive suspension refresh and bodywork refurbishment, which helped me develop my mechanical and fabrication skills, including welding. I am currently working on the electrical system to improve reliability and cabin comfort.
Electronics
NewVCU & NewDash: Automotive Embedded Ecosystem
- STM32 Firmware: FreeRTOS-based dual-CAN control unit running safety state machines, throttle arbitration, and real-time task scheduling
- NewDash Display: ESP32-powered handlebar digital touchscreen (LVGL) displaying live telemetry gauges and tuning vehicle parameters over CAN on the fly
- VCU Forge (C#): Dedicated desktop calibration software for CAN routing, 2D torque curve mapping, and automated firmware generation
- Motorsport Telemetry: Synchronized CAN bus data acquisition exported directly to native MoTeC .ld logs for deep vehicle dynamics analysis
Creative
Sharing My Projects: YouTube Channel
Sharing design, manufacturing, and mechanics projects on my YouTube channel. I document vehicle conversions, custom motorcycle builds, and electronic projects for a community of enthusiasts, handling the entire production pipeline independently, including filming, editing, and content creation.
Electronics & Mechanics
1000W Yose Power E-Bike Conversion
Initiated my experience with electric vehicles by converting a Btwin 520s mountain bike using a 1000W Yose Power kit. The project involved assembling the kit with the necessary mechanical adaptations. I documented the build on YouTube, where it has gained over 80,000 views and led to an ongoing collaboration with the brand.
Electronics
Self-Made Helmet Intercom System
Engineered a custom motorcycle helmet intercom as a budget-friendly alternative to commercial systems. I salvaged the components of a non-functional Bluetooth speaker, designed and 3D-printed a custom mounting enclosure, and wired it to speakers from a set of broken headphones. The system has operated reliably for over a year, costing only 1.50€ in plastic filament.
Electronics
Electric Skateboard: Li-Ion Battery Build
Built my first electric skateboard by purchasing a broken high-end board and performing a complete battery rebuild. Through this project, I learned to spot-weld a custom pack using 18650 cells and made the necessary modifications to the remote and charging systems.
