Notes
A chronological log of technical writing — analog IC design, signal processing, electronics, and the occasional book review.
Demis Hassabis and AI's next chapter
A personal reflection on Demis Hassabis, AlphaFold, European innovation and the sovereignty lost when Europe cannot finance its own scale.
Generating a Standard-Cell Library with an AI Agent
How Claude Code adapted the open-source LibreCell generator to reproduce a hand-drawn 180 nm standard-cell library to within 4% of its area.
SpaceX's Starship and the Innovator's Overshoot
SpaceX's IPO will be the largest in history. But an Economist podcast made a claim that stopped me: Starship increases cargo-to-orbit capacity by 25,000x. Clayton Christensen warned about exactly this.
GPU in a 180 W Box: Upgrading an HPE MicroServer Gen10 Plus for AI Workloads
How I added an NVIDIA RTX A1000 and upgraded the CPU on an HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus, and how Intel RAPL plus nvidia-smi power caps keep the whole thing inside a 180 W PSU ceiling.
Eight Things I Learned from The NVIDIA Way
Eight lessons from The NVIDIA Way on cadence, software, listening to the market, collective ownership, gratitude, and what happens when the company is its founder.
Cortex: Building a Second Brain with Claude Code and Obsidian
Turning an Obsidian vault into an autonomous knowledge system using Claude Code skills, agents, and a multi-agent heartbeat architecture.
Radio-Frequency Transmitter for Subcutaneous Biomedical Implants
Development of a radio frequency transmitter for biomedical implants using impulse-radio ultra-wideband technology for brain-machine interfaces and other medical applications.
