— Stack

Hardware to cloud.

A data packet's journey from silicon to server — and the layers I've touched so far.

  1. HARDWARE

    Lab test and measurement equipment, vehicle sensors — Prodigit/Keithley units, OBD-II readers, and a Raspberry Pi; data sources over USB and Ethernet.

  2. FIRMWARE

    SCPI and OBD-II commands — the shared language for talking to the firmware already living on each device.

  3. NETWORK

    MQTT and Node-RED — small-scale pipelines carrying telemetry from a Raspberry Pi up to the cloud.

  4. APP

    Kotlin for Android, Python/Tkinter for desktop — the surface where the user meets the system.

  5. CLOUD

    FastAPI + Docker + Cloud Run, Firebase Firestore, InfluxDB — where state lives and decisions get made.
