The bench
I move between wet-lab thinking, electronics prototyping, software systems, and visual storytelling because each discipline sharpens the others. The portfolio is structured like a research notebook so ideas remain traceable as they travel from experiment to build to publication.
The catalog system (RES-, ENG-, SW-, HBY-) isn't administrative—it's architectural. Each specimen is a discrete entry point with a stable accession code, so whether you're following a thread through robotics, bioinformatics, or code, the logic is the same: one disciplined mind, one notebook, many tools.
