Concept
The spark. A rough idea worth chasing — a problem, a curiosity, a frontier itch that needs scratching.
Good afternoon.
Welcome to the archive. I build systems, gadgets, and experiments that do not always fit neatly into one box.

What powers AFUGR
A set of ingredients that keep our experiments coherent — whether it's a tool, a kit, a device, or a strange little prototype.
Materials
The tactile layer. Plastics, metal, cardboard, RLCD panels, code, 3D-printed parts — whatever gets the idea into the real world.
Behaviour
How it acts. The personality of the object or system — fast, quiet, rugged, playful, stubborn, precise. Function becomes character.
Form
The shape it takes. Industrial, simple, honest. Built to be used, handled, repaired, tossed in a bag, or taken into the field.
System
How it connects. Kits, instructions, firmware, small pieces that talk to each other. A little ecosystem that expands as new experiments arrive.
Field Notes
The canon. Observations, sketches, diagrams, misfires, improvements. This keeps the whole thing aligned as AFUGR grows.
Together, these pieces create the AFUGR signature — practical builds with a wide-horizon imagination. A workshop at the edge of the map, where everything shares the same quiet, purposeful confidence.
