EXPERIMENT // DRAFT
THE TECH GARAGE LAB
Prototypes, scripts, and hardware experiments — things I built to understand how they work. Most entries here are notes, not finished write-ups.
Raspberry Pi — Media Center & WiFi Router
One Pi, two jobs: Kodi-style media playback on the TV and a secondary WiFi router segment for lab devices. Draft write-up in Gadgets.
ROLES:Media / Routing

Cross-Platform App Experiments
Side-by-side experience shipping with native Java/Kotlin, Flutter, and Ionic — different trade-offs for performance, store policy, and team velocity.
