About this site

Welcome to The Left Hand Scientist – a small corner of the internet where I put half-finished thoughts, overengineered solutions, and personal projects that didn’t quite fit anywhere else.

I’m a research engineer working on cybersecurity for cyber-physical systems, mostly in transport and adjacent things-that-move. This site is a bit of a digital workbench: expect sketches of ideas, notes on things I’m tinkering with (3D printing, modelling, protocols, odd bits of hardware), and occasional technical rambling.

There’s no real theme or schedule. Sometimes it's code, sometimes it’s solder fumes and printer errors. Sometimes I just need to think out loud.

If you’re here: welcome, and enjoy the mess.

This site is lovingly cobbled together using Ghost, styled just enough to be readable and not break entirely on mobile (thank god for default templates).

The name The Left Hand Scientist is a nod to creative problem-solving, unconventional tools, and being slightly out of phase with how things are “supposed” to work. Also, I’m left-handed. It fits.

Hosted on an virtualised instance of Alpine, content updated whenever I remember I have a website, security updates (when I get grumpy reminders from my home lab).
