I have always been passionate about building things. Whether it is software, woodworking or music. This small website is a compilation of all the different projects I have made over the years and the different things I learned.
Music Theory Learning music theory
Electronic circuits A follow-up on the previous post Electronic components, we will look at electronic circuits.
Electronic components A follow-up on the previous post Electronic concepts, we will look at electronic components we can use and how to create circuits to solve actual problems.
Electronic concepts Electronics is based on one of the 4 fundamental forces, electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is the interaction between electric charges and currents, as well as their associated magnetic fields. It encompasses phenomena such as the generation of magnetic fields by electric currents, the induction of electric currents by changing magnetic fields, and the fundamental relationship described by Maxwell's equations. Let's define some words.
Blog This blog has been through so many versions that I have lost count. In 2011 I was looking for a new project idea and I decided that making a Portfolio would be a good idea, so I created the V1 of this website as you can see in the image below.
Sound Generation with AI Exploring text to sound generation with transformer networks and AudioCraft.

Telecaster guitar
Ticket to ride After making Settlers of Catan I wanted to make another game. I found that ticket to ride might be a good match however I didn't know how to make the map out of something durable. I could have printed it on paper but it would not be very strong. Then I thought about transfering ink from a printer onto wood. I quickly found on the internet that you can use acetone to transfer the ink from paper to wood. After scaling the map to print on multiple papers and flipping it, I applied it to the wood. It looked good but as good as I wanted to I retouched some parts of it with colour pencils. Then I finished it with some lacquer.

It was a fun little project and we have made many games of Settlers of Catan since using this build.
Music generation and learning Variational Autoencoders I have always been interested in making music. However it is not an easy task. You often learn by first listening and playing music from other people. Then you can adapt what they did by adding your own twist or a fusion between multiple other songs. A change in the key, a different melody, different instruments, a different rythm, different lyrics, etc. There are so many possibilities.
