Projects
Master's thesis project. General-purpose hierarchical digital circuit simulator with ImGui, CMake-driven plugin SDK, embedded Lua scripting, and wire-level multi-MCU support. Hosts the ZeroMate (Raspberry Pi Zero emulator) as a plugin, alongside a library of logic gates, displays, sensors, memory chips, and I2C/UART tools.
Passionately built from-scratch: 2D/3D game engine and Terraria clone — custom OpenGL renderer, XML-driven UI, ECS, Lua scripting, spatial audio. Experimental multiplayer branch, dedicated branch for Terrain Erosion Simulator with OpenCL & AVX512.
Half-bridge solid state tesla coil, 230 V mains, 25 cm arc length. MIDI and PS/2 keyboard driven by an ATmega328 with a custom interrupter, driven remotely by optical fibre. Driver uses UCC27322/21 gate drivers through a toroidal transformer. Eats through MOSFETs like butter; oscilloscope would be nice. 2-year hobby project. Presented at ČVUT Praha.
BSSHeatMesh
C++ / ESP32 / AssemblyGroup project: BLE mesh network of ESP32 sensor nodes forwarding environmental data (BME280, BH1750) to an edge RPi. Personal scope: I2C driver written in ULP assembly so the main CPU never wakes for sensor reads, custom superframe-based time sync protocol with slot negotiation handshake (request/offer/confirm/ping-pong) to keep deeply sleeping nodes coordinated across the mesh.
Arduino firmware driving the SSTC — MIDI parsing, interrupt timing, PWM modulation. Companion library: Pulser — Arduino library for fast and precise PWM generation.
Toolchain for a custom 8-bit CPU built on breadboard (+ALU). Designed the ISA, converts Excel-defined instruction table to binary to flash into the CPU control ROM.
