This website is WIP, but here's a list of topics that you might expect:

Music
Electronics/robotics. See the University Robotics project I worked in! (you now can , or just preview it). Also, my code made for the project is on my GitHub (see next item)
Programming. Check out my GitHub!
Videogames

I just found out about OpenCV.js, which could make me able to host my Final Project's lane detection algorithm in this site! Maybe even using your own webcam!
It still just an idea, I barely know CSS, so thinking about JavaScript makes my head spin at the moment. I would also need to translate all my C++ codebase to JS... unless I can do something with Emscripten (?. Even the use of OpenCV is different between languages! (but very similar, thankfully). I will build this site little by little, as I learn (I'm using Google Dev's web developement courses), but I hope to share cool things like this with you in the near future!

Update 1 (19/09/2024) (yes, I'm using dd/MM/yyyy notation)

I just (yesterday) presented mi Final Degree Project!!
I'm so happy I finally can really call myself an engineer! I finally have time to do many things I put in the back burner because of uni (although I'm already working for a big spanish engineering company 😎🤓, so I have some obligations still): from catching up on series, anime, videogames, books... to making some personal projects like learning how to build this website (and doing it) or making a device for drumkits that lights LEDs up on impact. Yeah, I play the drums, I forgot to mention. I think I will create a section on this site dedicated to my musical ventures (mainly the bands I'm on at the moment and the ones I've been part of "historically").

Brief techical aside:

I plan on using piezoelectric sensors, LEDs and some microcontroller. I have an Arduino Mega and some STM32 board named Discovery or something, I can't quite remember the name. I'm planning on using interruptions as the main sensor mechanism, because a drumkit usually has more than one drum (I won't light up cymbals) and seems like an intuitive way to do it, rather than polling for each sensor's signal. I've been told that Arduino boards' interruption systems are kinda... meh. Too slow, blocking execution while changing context, so I'll have to try with the Mega (maybe they were refering to just the Arduino UNO(? ), because I've already used interruptions on the other board and I know they work very nicely. I plan on documenting the process here, so be ready!

I am so pumped to be "free". Sometimes academics, specially in STEM fields can be very taxing. In my case, the type of learning some teachers want from you is not compatible with how my brain works, at least in my uni. I need to understand the problem, not memorize the solution. I need to know why im doing something, and if I do, that solution usually comes naturally then. I don't know if I'm making any sense XD. Maybe next year I will think about doing a Masters degree, I've heard is more specialized, but not as taxing. We'll see, I guess.
Anyways, as I said, I'm going to "take control" of my free time again. I'm so excited.

P.S.: Thanks again (and forever) to everyone who made that part of my life bearable. Family, friends, coleagues... You know who you are! 😉
