"If it can be automated, optimized, or completely rebuilt from scratch — I'm probably already working on it."

Software Developer · Embedded Systems Engineer · Linux Enthusiast · Full-Stack Explorer

I build systems that bridge the gap between software, hardware, and operating systems. From smart home automation to embedded safety systems and custom Linux environments, I enjoy turning ambitious ideas into practical engineering projects.

And yes — I tend to overengineer things that probably didn't need to be engineered in the first place.

Originated in 2025 · Actively evolving

Barghino is my long-term project to build a flexible smart home automation platform, combining embedded devices, centralized control, and a modern software interface.

Core architecture & development roadmap

• Central Hub: A central unit coordinating connected switches and automation devices.
• Local-First Control: Designed to keep essential home control available without depending on cloud services.
• Embedded Communication: Exploring reliable communication between the central unit and distributed microcontroller-based nodes.
• Web-Based Interface: A unified control panel for devices, rooms, and automation workflows.
• Network Resilience: Configurable connectivity and recovery strategies.
• Data & Configuration: Persistent settings, device information, and event logging.
• Future Intelligence: Rule-based automation, usage analysis, and potential AI-assisted control.

The long-term goal is to evolve Barghino into a maintainable, extensible, and potentially commercial smart home platform.

In Development

An experimental Linux distribution exploring historical visual design, unconventional branding, and a customized desktop experience.

• Customized desktop appearance and system branding.
• Tailored themes, icons, wallpapers, and boot visuals.
• Linux distribution customization and packaging experiments.
• A deliberately distinctive visual identity built around historical satire.

The focus is on learning how Linux distributions are assembled, customized, packaged, and released.

Linux Debian-based Systems Desktop Customization System Integration

In Development

A separate Linux project focused on creating a clean, efficient desktop environment for developers.

Design objectives

• A lightweight and uncluttered desktop experience.
• Developer-focused software selection and system defaults.
• A streamlined workflow for coding and technical experimentation.
• Performance-conscious configuration.
• Custom branding, desktop integration, and system-level personalization.
• Future exploration of developer tools, power profiles, and modular system components.

Vision: A focused development environment without unnecessary distractions or software bloat.
