An archive of things I've built, mostly sparked by curiosity and personal initiative. Many were created as gifts for friends and family, some for myself, and others became part of interactive programs and stories at youth camps. A few originated from my university studies.

A set of modular laser tag target units built from PVC pipe and translucent baking paper. Each module contains a calibrated photoresistor that detects incoming laser hits from custom-built blasters. The diffused surface ensures reliable detection across the entire target area. Powered by a rechargeable lithium battery via USB-C. Developed as part of an interactive laser tag system for a youth camp.

A set of three custom-built laser tag blasters using repurposed water gun and garden hose housings. A lithium battery rechargeable via USB-C powers a laser diode when the trigger is pulled. The blasters were designed as part of an interactive laser tag system created for a youth camp, complementing separate laser target units.

An interactive reaction-based game set in a space battle scenario. Four system buttons with corresponding LEDs (maintenance, shield, weapon, energy) must be activated when their matching LED lights up. A random sequence of signals progressively speeds up, challenging the player to keep the ship operational. Powered by an Arduino Nano Every and a lithium battery rechargeable via USB-C.

An interactive emotional companion designed to guide users through different feelings. Six buttons allow selection of emotions and navigation, while an Arduino Nano Every drives a 128x128 OLED display to deliver calming, reflective prompts. The enclosure was designed in CAD and 3D printed. Powered by a lithium battery rechargeable via USB-C.
