Hey, I'm Miguel

I got my CS degree and kept going. Hardware pulled me in because there's something satisfying about writing code that controls something physical: LEDs, motors, sensors. Seeing it work in the real world hits differently than a program running on a screen.

The LED Traffic Light project was my first step into that world. I built it to get comfortable with the full embedded workflow: setting up a proper toolchain, wiring real components, and writing C++ for a microcontroller.

3D printing came along naturally as a way to give projects a proper housing instead of leaving them on a breadboard forever.

I learn best by documenting. Writing up a project forces me to understand it well enough to explain it, and it leaves a record I can come back to later.

Miguel's Build Log is that record. Every project gets a full write-up: the hardware, the code, what went wrong, what I'd do differently. If it also helps someone else getting started, even better.
