I design, build and manufacture modular headphones, compact laptops and other gadgets. Every device goes from an idea to a finished product.

About me

A self-taught engineer

Someone who is not afraid of hard projects. Making my own devices is not just a dream — it is what I have wanted to do for as long as I can remember. I design the electronics, write the firmware, model the enclosures, and every day I work on turning ideas into finished devices.

The philosophy is simple: usefulness, modularity, repairability. Every gadget should be useful, take apart and be possible to fix.

Principles

Three pillars of the work

01

Usefulness

Every device has to solve a real problem. No useless features — only what is actually needed.

02

Modularity

Any part can be replaced. A part broke — replace that part, not the whole device.

03

Repairability

Every gadget can be taken apart and fixed. Available components, a clear design, open documentation.
