Builder, experimenter, and creator. Workshop projects, radio systems, web tooling, a 200-site portfolio I keep running — and some Dutch Caribbean property on the side.
About
Started with a camera and a drift trolley. Now it's wireless comms experiments, a locally-running AI, and 200 live websites I keep maintained, improved, and tested for vulnerabilities. I manage deadlines and workloads across all of it without dropping anything.
I'm drawn to problems with real-world weight — things that need to survive actual use, be explained clearly, and do exactly what they're supposed to. Lately my focus has been on radio systems and how defence-grade communications actually work at the hardware level. That goes hand in hand with the RF and electronics builds.
Code-wise I work in Python, Lua, SQL, and whatever the job needs. I document the interesting stuff on YouTube.
Newest Project
A 20-billion-parameter AI large language model running entirely on my own machine. No cloud, no subscriptions, no third-party anything. DAVE runs offline, tuned specifically to the way I work, and helps across everything — electronics, code, property management, whatever's on the bench. My AI, not a product.
Selected Projects
Build · Mechanical
Took a kids' electric ride-on and decided it wasn't finished. Custom chassis, two-stroke engine, proper brakes, clean controls. It had to actually run.
Build · Mechanical
Motorised drift trolley. Lightweight, chaotic, and surprisingly controllable once it was dialled in. Built it, filmed it, put it out.
Radio · RF
Started as a car FM transmitter. Ended up broadcasting speech, tones, and music across roughly 7 miles. Antenna placement and tuning did most of the work.
Build · Experimental
Hardware, fuel delivery, and ignition. A controlled flame tool built because a project actually needed it. Documented with care.
Electronics · RF · ESP32
ESP32 paired with two NRF24L01 modules to flood the 2.4GHz band. Built to understand how wireless interference actually behaves at the hardware level.
Capabilities
FM broadcast, 2.4GHz interference, antenna design. Strong interest in how defence-grade comms and electronic warfare systems actually work at the hardware level.
Designing and building wireless communication systems end to end — from module to protocol to range test. Know where it breaks and why.
Mechanical fabrication and modifications. Made to survive real use, not just look like it could.
Python, Lua, SQL, web stack. Clean, testable, and maintainable — not clever for the sake of it.
200+ active client sites maintained, iterated, and tested for vulnerabilities. Deadlines hit, problems caught early.
Build it, film it, explain it clearly. @jwormm
