I'm who you get when you mix Animator with Mad Scientist plus a large helping of autoimmune probs. I like to make things, even if I have no clue what I'm doing.

The same Octorok automata driven by a small motor at the base, the octopus bobbing very fast.
A hand slowly cranks a 3D-printed automata: a magenta Octorok (the Zelda octopus) bobs up and down on a grey printed frame.
A short vertical clip of one of the living room lanterns: a look from outside first, then a closer look inside where the addressable LEDs sit.
A small hand-soldered green protoboard sits on a blue silicone soldering mat. A black 3-pin connector with red, white, and black wires is soldered to one end, feeding an addressable LED strip, with a separate red-and-black power lead. Around it are spools of green and yellow hookup wire, flush cutters, and pliers.
A breadboard on a black plastic mount resting on a couch. A red Arduino Uno (SparkFun RedBoard) at the top is wired by blue, yellow, red and black jumper wires down to a white breadboard holding a small black Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32, a USB-C cable, and a few loose resistors. An in-progress test of the lantern's LED controller.
simulation of underwater ecosystem - driven by poop.
