First-year CSE student. Night sky watcher.
I take things apart to see how they hold together.

About

I study computer science at Daffodil International University, first year, batch 69. Most of what I actually know I picked up outside class, by taking something apart. A camera setting. A circuit board. A radio signal. An aircraft system.

I live near VGHS, close enough to hear takeoffs from my window. That proximity turned into an interest, and the interest turned serious.

I am not loud about things. I get quietly obsessed instead, and I stay with a thing long after most people would have moved on.

What I photograph

I shoot in manual, always. Mostly dusk. Mostly things that are already moving away from you.

roads, car mirrors
moon
airplane wings
beach silhouettes
birds in flight

What I build

A knob instead of a slider

Wired an Arduino Nano into a physical knob so I could stop reaching for the taskbar volume slider on Windows.

Watching the sky on a radio

An RTL-SDR dongle pulling live aircraft positions out of the air near VGHS, no flight tracker app required.

A cheap light, taken apart

Bought a basic USB LED with a manual clearly written by one person. Working through what its software actually sends to the device.

A speaker from salvage

Pairing a ZK-MT21 2.1 channel amp board with drivers pulled from an old Awei speaker, running the whole thing off 12V.

Where I fly

MSFS 2020, mostly the A320neo with the FBW mod, mostly out of VGHS. I fly it like it matters. Checklists and all.
