Engineering Notes

Charles Henri Gayot. Systems, code, hardware, and the projects currently consuming my attention.

This is the personal version of the site: active projects first, then the writing. It is where I keep experiments, architecture notes, and hard-earned observations from building things that have to work.

Current focus

  • Hardware and embedded work. The physical side of systems is still the interesting side.
  • Data and observability. Fast feedback loops matter more than bloated dashboards.
  • Applied AI. Experiments that stay grounded in real constraints instead of hype.

Projects

Current work before commentary.

The active project list leads the site because building is still the center of gravity.
