About Me

I am building my way toward robotics and autonomous systems.

I started from hands-on mechanical and electrical troubleshooting in the Marine Corps, then moved toward autonomous vehicle testing, robotics, embedded hardware, FPV drones, 3D printing, and automation projects. Most of my technical growth has come from working directly with real systems: wiring them, breaking them, debugging them, repairing them, and documenting what actually happened.

NearDivine Labs is the record of that progression. The work here is not presented as polished or perfect. It is meant to show the path from basic hardware troubleshooting toward deeper robotics: the prototypes, failed assumptions, wiring problems, test setups, repairs, upgrades, and lessons that build into more serious engineering ability over time.

Marine Corps mechanical and electrical troubleshooting background.

Autonomous vehicle testing exposure through Glydways / SkillBridge work.

Hands-on robotics, drone, embedded, 3D printing, and home automation projects.

Self-directed technical learning focused on practical systems instead of theory alone.

Current work

What I am organizing now

Documenting the robotic spider platform as a serious long-term robotics project.
Turning the FPV drone build into a clean case study around wiring, receiver setup, Betaflight, and flight testing.
Organizing smaller hardware projects like the remote safe retrofit, restored 3D printer, and SlimeVR trackers.
Building this portfolio into a readable record of actual technical progression instead of a loose pile of notes and photos.

Standard

How I want the work judged

Show the process, not just the finished result.
Be clear about what worked, what failed, and what is still unfinished.
Avoid overstating projects beyond what was actually built or tested.
Use every project to build toward deeper robotics and autonomy skill.

Longer-term direction

The goal is not to collect random projects. It is to build a path toward serious robotics capability.

The projects on this site are stepping stones: drones for wiring, radio control, flight controllers, and testing discipline; the spider platform for mechanical design, actuation, power, control, and perception; 3D printing for rapid prototyping; embedded projects for firmware and circuit behavior; and automation systems for integrating hardware, software, networking, and real-world constraints.
