About

I build things properly, or I don't build them at all.

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

Meet
DAVE.

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

Builds and experiments.

Toy Fiat 500 petrol conversion

Build · Mechanical

Toy Fiat 500 → Petrol

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.

Completed Write-up soon →
Shopping Trolley Drift Cart

Build · Mechanical

Shopping Trolley Drift Cart

Motorised drift trolley. Lightweight, chaotic, and surprisingly controllable once it was dialled in. Built it, filmed it, put it out.

Completed Watch →
FM Emergency Broadcaster

Radio · RF

FM Emergency Broadcaster

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.

Completed Write-up soon →
Flame Thrower Build

Build · Experimental

Flame Thrower Build

Hardware, fuel delivery, and ignition. A controlled flame tool built because a project actually needed it. Documented with care.

Completed Write-up soon →
2.4GHz Signal Disruptor Build

Electronics · RF · ESP32

2.4GHz Signal Disruptor

ESP32 paired with two NRF24L01 modules to flood the 2.4GHz band. Built to understand how wireless interference actually behaves at the hardware level.

Completed Write-up soon →
For educational and research purposes only.

Capabilities

What I actually do well.

Radio & RF Systems

FM broadcast, 2.4GHz interference, antenna design. Strong interest in how defence-grade comms and electronic warfare systems actually work at the hardware level.

Wireless Comms

Designing and building wireless communication systems end to end — from module to protocol to range test. Know where it breaks and why.

Workshop Builds

Mechanical fabrication and modifications. Made to survive real use, not just look like it could.

Code & Databases

Python, Lua, SQL, web stack. Clean, testable, and maintainable — not clever for the sake of it.

Web Portfolio Management

200+ active client sites maintained, iterated, and tested for vulnerabilities. Deadlines hit, problems caught early.

Video Documentation

Build it, film it, explain it clearly. @jwormm

Contact

Got something interesting? I'm in.

A project, a collaboration, or something that doesn't fit a neat category — reach out. I don't bite and I'm quick to reply.
