About Me
I've always liked making things and figuring things out for myself. I didn't grow up around labs, workshops or much technical equipment, so a lot of what I've learned has come from starting with what I had and working things out as I went. That still shapes how I approach things now. I like trying ideas early, seeing what works, and improving them from there. Some things become proper projects. Others remain sketches, prototypes, or experiments that taught me something useful. A lot of what I'm drawn to usually involves some engineering, design or optimisation of some sort. But it must always start with something I want to understand, solve, or really figure out for myself.
How I Learn
I learn best when I can see something, break it down or try it for myself. I usually start with a few simple questions: What is this meant to do? What actually matters here? What can I test first? Things like diagrams, physical models, prototypes and conversations with experts usually help me get there faster. Once I understand the basic idea, I find it much easier to go deeper and zoom in. Often, I don't need the first version to be perfect. I just want it to teach me enough to make the next one better. It's iterative.
