permalink: /about/
excerpt: The obligatory "about me" page.

Hi! I'm Matthew and I've been a maker for just about my entire life. I discovered my passion way back in elementary school and have been on a lifelong journey of learning ever since. That journey led me to getting an EECS degree at UC Berkeley where I learned a hell of a lot and realized just how much there's still left to learn. For now I'm working in industry, having lots of fun but also making sure not to overwork myself too much. I don't have quite as much time for personal projects anymore, but that's the price of trying to make a living.
I created this blog so that I may finally document my journey. Human memory isn't perfect and it'll be pretty awesome to scroll back and say, "Hey! I did that!" Heck, I already do that when looking at my camera roll. I hope to also inspire others who are on a similar path and perhaps be the mentor I wish I had growing up. Since I believe guarding knowledge impedes societal progress, everything I do here will be as free and open-source as possible.
This site will likely be hosted on Github Pages which will free up my home server for some fun shenanigans. Check out [matthewtran.com](https://matthewtran.com) to see what I'm doing there.

excerpt: A running list of things I'll to one day.

Going into industry and college, I did not expect the sheer number of things that I wanted to try learning. Rather than tossing everything onto a poorly organized sticky note, I figured it's probably best to put it in a publicly visible less poorly organized page. Full disclosure, I still use a sticky note.
# High-Priority Projects
Projects I'll get to next.
- **hardware**
- **iCE40 ADC** - first time using an iCE40, pairing with an external ADC
- **word watch** - inspired by those word clocks
- **solar esp32** - proof of concept
- **keyboard v2** - full size, swappable keys, esp32 (for the low-power challenge), solar powered
- **Linux board** - probably an NXP or STM32 chip, maybe a Zynq
- **software**
- **ePaper Zephyr support** - made a breakout board a while ago, try adding to Zephyr
- **JABI mobile apps** - built in Flutter for cross-platform deploy
- **CAN/LIN DFU for Zephyr** - perhaps build it on UDS or devise custom protocol
- **MCUboot FSBL** - updatable bootloader!
- **bootloader dynamic linking** - app calls functions provided by bootloader to save flash
- **LDF parser in Haskell** - integrate into JABI too
- **DBC parser in Haskell** - integrate into JABI too
- **acoustic keylogger** - lots of articles online, seems interesting
# Future Projects
Projects I'll get to once I finish the others.
- **CNC v2** - do it properly this time, make sure it can cut metal
- **3D printer** - silent, fast, use linear rails
- **Nerf Gun** - precise, magazine fed, mountable and electric
- **Auto Nerf Turret** - become a Jedi with a reobot deliberately shooting at your lightsaber
- **Robotic Actuator** - improve the one I designed in 2017
- **Sine Wave Encoder** - worked with these before so document it
- **Solder Station** - try doing what GreatScott did and make a cheap good one
- **Solder Paste Dispenser** - auto squeezing, maybe throw it on a 3D printer and integrate with KiCad
- **Pick and Place Machine** - auto placing, deep integration with KiCad
- **Closed Loop Current Clamp** - http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/tidu674/tidu674.pdf
- **Isolated Differential Oscilloscope Probe**
- **Phased Array Receiver** - basically a compass for radio signals
- **Drone** - make one, make autonomous, make many
- **Haptic Touchpad** - basically a Macbook trackpad
- **LPC845 Zephyr Support** - already added basic support, do it correctly this time
- **Expandable Cellular Automata** - Conway's Game of Life, infinitely expandable, configurable init states
- **Self-balancing Robot** - super simple but I've never done it
- **Hacked Labelmaker** - hack Dymo and make it print whatever we want with a proper desktop app
- **Microphone Triangulation** - like the EE16A lab but an actual product
- **Component Storage System** - storing a bunch of bags in a box is not a solution
- **Zynq breakout**
- **Intel SoC breakout**
- **CAN Sniffer** - no cutting wires, https://www.csselectronics.com/products/cancrocodile-contactless-can-adapter, inject a signal too?
- **Zephyr USB Rubber Ducky** - make a USB HS board first
- **Pi Zero Cluster** - got lots of them lying around, no SD cards
- **SDR** - deploy the BLE/802.15.4 Chisel code you wrote (zero IF?)
