As a member of the muCommander core development team, my work focuses on delivering significant, high-impact features and stability improvements that enhance the end-user experience.
Key Features Shipped:

• Full-blown Terminal: Integrated a complete terminal accessible via F12, replacing the previous limited run command.
• Syntax Highlighting: Implemented syntax highlighting in the built-in file viewer and editor.
• Enhanced UX: Added job status indicators (jobs count and progress) to the dock icon and a Desktop quick access link.
• macOS Integration: Developed a native 'Open With' menu and added system icons for well-known directories.
• Startup Time Optimization: Reduced application launch time by a factor of 2-3x through targeted bottleneck analysis and code refactoring.
• System icons for common well-known directories
• Improved bug & issue reporting directly both via github and muCommander app
• plus lots of other fixes and enhancements

A complete, self-hosted Internet of Things solution for environmental monitoring and remote control. This project integrates custom-built hardware with a powerful data visualization stack.

System Architecture:

• Sensors: A network of Arduino-powered sensors measures temperature, pressure, humidity, and luminosity.
• Data Hub: A Raspberry Pi collects data wirelessly via RFM69 modules.
• Visualization: Data is stored in InfluxDB and visualized with real-time Grafana dashboards.
• Control: The system includes a remote-control capability for external devices.

A hardware project designed to solve one of photography's greatest challenges: capturing lightning. This device automates the process, turning a game of chance into a predictable science.

The trigger is built around a high-sensitivity AS3935 lightning sensor and an Arduino Nano, which sends a shutter signal to the camera the instant a lightning event is detected. The hardware is optimized for Canon cameras but architected for easy adaptation to other systems.

What began as a project to display indoor air quality using a PMS5003ST sensor and a Raspberry Pi Zero, evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic into something more.

The system was expanded to include a simple, custom voice assistant, leveraging the full power of the Linux console to serve weather conditions, system stats, or any other scriptable data on demand.

A project to honor the classic design of a Polish Unitra ANIA R-612 radio while completely replacing its aging internals with a modern, digital core.

The original electronics were retrofitted with an Arduino, a TEA5767 FM module, and a Nokia 5110 display. The new screen is integrated unobtrusively, with illumination that gracefully fades out, preserving the vintage aesthetic while providing a modern user experience.

A DIY smart display that provides critical, at-a-glance information for the day ahead. The system, running on a Raspberry Pi Zero, uses a high-contrast e-paper screen to show the time, weather, air quality index (AQI), and real-time traffic data.

Key Feature: The display includes a "smart alert" system—gauges for AQI and traffic automatically turn red when configured thresholds are exceeded, providing an instant visual warning. The enclosure is a testament to creativity, built entirely from vintage LEGO pieces.

A community-focused project designed to democratize air quality monitoring. The goal was to provide a complete blueprint for building a low-budget, affordable, and accurate home particulate matter sensor.

The project is a full ecosystem, including build instructions, cross-platform desktop and mobile applications for data viewing, and 3D-printable enclosure designs.

A hardware modification project to add a modern, digital optical output (TOSLINK) to a legacy Onkyo DX-6810 CD player.

By tapping directly into the player's CXD2500Q chip, this retrofit allows the player to function as a pure "CD transport," bypassing the original internal DAC. This enables the use of high-end external DACs, significantly enhancing the audio quality and breathing new life into a classic piece of hardware.
