I'm in Sydney, doing the IB, and building the kinds of tools I keep wishing existed: exam generators, study software, FPGA projects, radio hardware, and a physics EE on MLCC DC bias.
Software, FPGAs, PCBs, and physics.
Past papers, essay feedback, and oral practice for IB students. I use the same curriculum it is built for.
Rust backend, Next.js frontend, billing, policies, and the product pages around it.
Backend in Rust/Rocket; frontend in Next.js; deployed on AWS.A question DSL for generated exam questions that verify their answers before they reach a student.
The point is boring on purpose: if a generated variant cannot prove its answer, it does not ship.
A DSL plus validation pipeline for generated assessment items.Worksheet and exam generation for NSW HSC maths teachers, built with a maths tutor.
The useful bit is speed: teachers can get a usable worksheet without hand-assembling every question.
Product work for teachers: generation, formatting, and classroom-ready output.A VHDL CPU and assembler, PCBs for a weather station, an Artix-7 devboard, and a lightweight direct-conversion SDR, plus an SSTV transcoder in Rust/Wasm.
Also writing an MLCC DC-bias paper as my IB Extended Essay, with an IEEE TCPMT version in mind. Advanced Amateur Radio operator, call VK2EMM.
VHDL, PCB design, radio circuits, and Rust/Wasm signal/image tooling.
