Who am I?
Hey there! Online, I mainly go by the "callsign" 9662e103-129a; however, in real life, I'm Mark! I'm still going through the education system, but I've pretty much decided on my concentration: electrical engineering—specifically hardware design engineering.
There are so many other things I've done, but it would take forever to explain them here, so I'll just keep it short and give you the punchlines.
What do I do?
Since I'm still in school, it's pretty hard to work on other projects besides those within school; however, I'm currently working on a few! Obviously, the main one is
, which started off as a passion project but is now a project I'm committed to completing. I've also just started learning about development with Verilog, instruction cycles and execution, and some FPGA stuff too! On top of the technical work, I often go on Wikipedia and help edit articles that lack information (mainly centered around technology and engineering as I'm a part of the Electronics and Electrical Engineering WikiProjects). Aside from engineering activities, I'm an avid cyclist, boulderer, and hiker.
What have I previously done?
As you can tell from the first page, I made a pretty cool vehicle project back in middle school (which was essentially my mini source of 'fame,' per se); however, I've done a lot more since then. Such projects include developing my own microcontroller (tau-w), for which I temporarily set up a shop here (that didn't go as well as planned, hence why it does not exist anymore). I also attempted to make an OS kernel (that also died pretty quickly afterward because I didn't have the proper experience with low-level development). Just before 2024, I started my amateur radio 'adventure,' which I hope to participate in throughout my life!
