Creator Alchemist: A Different Kind of Blueprint

Technology, creativity, and the journey between.

This isn’t a portfolio—it’s a place where I make sense of the work I do and the life I live.
Creator Alchemist is the name I’ve given to that process.

Whether it’s designing firmware, prototyping electronics, or writing about the lessons learned, I explore microcontrollers, embedded systems, and the ways technology can shape meaningful experiences—and maybe even illuminate the world around us.

Pull up a chair. Let’s see what’s possible.

Some Thoughts on Automation: Stop Doing Manual Tasks Do you find yourself spending too much time on repetitive manual tasks that add little to no value? Whether it's small tasks or larger ones, manual work that needs to be repeated over and over can feel like busy...

Building a PIC-Based Pomodoro Timer: Productivity Meets Embedded Design

PIC-Based Pomodoro Timer Project

I’m building a Pomodoro Timer using a PIC18F16Q41 microcontroller. Yes, the PIC18F16Q41 is way overkill for something this simple, but that’s intentional. This design will also serve as a testbed for future projects, like testing sensors and other features I’m planning to use. Plus, I had some PIC18F16Q41 chips left over from a previous project, so why not?

PIC10F322 ADC Tutorial : Getting Started with XC8

PIC10F322 ADC : Using the ADC on the PIC10F322 with XC8 allows you to convert analog signals into digital values for various applications. This guide provides a comprehensive setup for enabling the ADC, configuring the ports, and reading the ADC values. The example demonstrates how to use the ADC to control an LED based on an analog input, making it a practical starting point for more complex projects.
