The DOOM on Engineering Tools Series:

OpenSCAD-DOOM: Raycasting in a parametric CAD language, now playable in browser. (The Register)

KiDoom: DOOM rendered on PCB traces. #1 on HN. (The Register, Hackaday)

ScopeDoom: Vector rendering on an oscilloscope via audio DAC. #1 on HN. (The Register, Hackaday)

The Serious Work:

Phaestus: Compiler for physical products. Generates schematics, PCBs, enclosures, and firmware from natural language.

Bitwise-MCP: MCP server for embedded systems. Indexes 1000+ page reference manuals with hybrid keyword/semantic search.

TOKN: Token-Optimised KiCad Notation. A compact encoding format that reduces schematic token count by 92%, enabling LLM circuit generation. Includes benchmark suite comparing model performance on hardware tasks.

Engine Simulator: Thermodynamic diesel engine model at 0.1° crank resolution, vanilla JS in browser.

I specialise in solving "impossible" technical problems and shipping validated products.
