I'm building a prosthetic hand that can be controlled by your thoughts. Using a device called an EEG, I'm able to read different focus levels (calm to hyperfocus), and translate this into code that an arduino can understand.

Unfortunately, I don't want to invest too much into this project yet, so I've only been able to use low resolution EEGs, meaning that the brain signal readings are a little off.

Planning on taking a slight detour for this project, and use an EMG combined with AI object detection, to get something out there.

Had enough of manually keeping track of people I wanted to reach out to and when to send follow up emails.

I've been using this extension here and there, but it isn't good enough to share.

Good first experience of developing a chrome extension, might revisit in the future.

These glasses are a fun side project to take a break from my usual work. They tell you the optimal move while playing blackjack. Of course, I don’t encourage gambling, and these shouldn’t be used for that purpose. *Wink wink*.

The hardware is an ESP32 with a camera taped onto a pair of glasses. The ESP32 sends data to a computer, which processes what the camera sees and feeds it into a logic system. This system outputs the optimal move based on the player’s cards (detected by the camera) and the dealer’s cards (manually inputted), using a basic blackjack strategy table.

This project has tons of room for improvement. If I revisit it, I’d make it process both dealer and player cards automatically, use a more advanced strategy table, add card counting, and include visual or audio cues for moves like hit or stand.
