Embedded and edge AI, measured.
I run agents and models against real hardware, then publish the numbers: what broke, what the datasheet got wrong, what the measurement proved.

- 01 SpotOn: What I'm Building, and Why Alone A tennis impact sensor, built alone with an LLM team, written down either way it ends. Thoughts
- 02 AI-Written Firmware: 233 Tests, Sonnet 68% vs Haiku 57% 233 cases against two models, and the categories where both fall apart. Embedded Dev
- 03 The CRA Begins: Embedded Software's Center of Gravity Shifts The EU regulation whose first obligation lands this September, read as an engineering shift rather than paperwork. Cyber Security
- 04 Per-Project AI Agent Harness: Side vs Production A copied CLAUDE.md drifts from day one. Two of my projects, one reviewer against five, both generated from a single interview. Embedded Dev
- 05 Hardware Docs for LLMs: grep vs RAG Two weeks building a RAG pipeline for one reference manual, then grep beat it. Edge AI

EmbedEval LLM benchmark for embedded firmware. 267 cases, 5-layer eval. harness-maker Project-shaped agent harness. On PyPI, grade-gated review.
SpotOn in progress nRF54L15 + ICM-42688-P at 1kHz. Modal impact features on the MCU.

- 01 LLM PCB Routing: Turning a Human's Fixes Into Rules I handed a 96% auto-routed PCB to a contract engineer. He did not just connect the last 4%, and that difference became 16 rules my agent can reuse.
- 02 Per-Project AI Agent Harness: Side vs Production I run side and production projects at once, so the workflow has to differ. Most harnesses are fixed, so I built one that generates a harness per project.
- 03 SpotOn: How I Run an AI Team of One Most of the first draft is written by an AI team. But the parts I have to know, and the ones I decide, I understand end to end. Read wide, write alone.
- 04 SpotOn: The Two Seats a Harness Can't Fill I re-sorted the twenty-eight disciplines a hardware product needs. Twenty are files, so the harness owns them. Six stop at a doorway. Two stay human.
- 05 SpotOn: A Roadmap One Person Can Finish A solo founder's roadmap isn't a build schedule. It's a map of kill-gates: cheap checkpoints before the expensive stages, and permission to quit early.
