Engineering manager by day. Builder by choice. Augustus Engineering is where I explore ideas that don't fit neatly into a job description. Some become software. Some become hardware. Some become businesses. Most start with a question: "Can I build a better way?"
Practical apps, backends, and AI-assisted tooling.

Electronics, fabrication, and prototypes that physically exist.
I spent more than a decade building software professionally. Eventually I realized the projects I enjoyed most weren't assigned to me — they were the ones I couldn't stop thinking about after work.
Augustus Engineering is where those ideas live. Some become software. Some become hardware. Some become businesses. Every project starts with a problem worth solving and a willingness to learn whatever is necessary to solve it.
Real projects, started with a real problem. Some I use every day, some are still on the bench, some are just experiments that escaped the lab.
A personal finance platform built to answer a simple question: "Where did my money actually go?" It helps people understand spending behavior through automation, AI-powered receipt processing, and data visualization.
A planning platform designed to help people organize and document the logistics of divorce. Inventory tracking, planning workflows, documentation management, and experience journaling — built to replace spreadsheets and scattered notes during a difficult life transition.
A natural-language health tracking application. Instead of filling out forms, you simply describe what happened — and the system organizes symptoms, events, food consumption, and timelines automatically.
A hardware experiment that started with a lawn mower repeatedly shutting down during summer heat. It evolved into thermal analysis, cooling system design, prototype fabrication, and data collection — a practical engineering solution born from frustration.
A concept project exploring a modern vehicle key fob that combines telemetry, display technology, utility features, and playful user experiences — an intersection of automotive engineering, embedded systems, and product design.
Some of my time goes to questions with no client and no deadline — just curiosity. These are the experiments I'm running right now.
The strongest thing I have isn't expertise — it's curiosity. Less "elite engineering consultancy," more one engineer constantly building, learning, and sharing what he discovers.
The best projects usually start small:
That's how every project at Augustus Engineering begins.
