As this year's IEEE SSCS Arduino Contest becomes a wrap, I am delighted to share that I'll was a part of it.
I was a volunteer ambassador, mentor and Judge.
It was sincerely a privilege working with such a global amd wide team.
It was also very relaxing of me watching people's project and ranking it based on how good it was.
I enjoyed every part of this job. And you'd see do this again in 2027.
Thank you @SSCSociety
And thank you to the participants...in one way, I'm part of your story ❤️
I started building a smartwatch for a client… then I had a crazy thought: What if I made my own and gifted them to my friends this Christmas?
And just like that, a client project turned into something more.
Here’s how the build is going so far!
This is still just a prototype. Next up: a proper PCB design and a custom casing.
And guess what? You could be getting one too. 👀🎄
Want me to gift you one when it’s ready, or would you like to buy one? Follow me and reach out to join the waitlist. My contact link is in my bio.
Follow along as I bring this idea to life before Christmas. We’re just getting started!

Id explain why the prototype in second video looks big later...summa is that that was the first version.
I bought the regular rechargeable fan you know and turned it into this.
Pls watch till the end.
I need visibility, a follow would go a long way.
Thank you.

My smartvwatch prototype.
I don't know why but the display is giving me tough time
Id just have to take some steps backwards.
For the video, I decided to replace that battery with a smaller one. You know the disadvantage of that...I only had to do it because of the physical size.

Im here to serve my Nigeria 🇳🇬
The journey was a very stressful one, so the first picture is me stretching my back.
Kra...
I’m a Hardware Engineer, and I was deployed to Lagos State for my one-year NYSC service. I’m currently searching for a PPA in Lagos.
If there are any openings or opportunities available, please let me know. I’m ready, active, and available.
Gentle man corper Ifediora.
I was deployed to serve as a corper in Lagos state but 21 days camp in Delta state.
Thank God for progress.
It still looks like a dream to me.
My life tells of how faithful Jesus is.
I had the opportunity to show some of my product to the deputy governor of enugu state yesterday at the @NACCIMA30 trade expo held at the @Unn_Nigeria .
It was a wonderful experience, pitching my startup @imaxeuno to him one on one.
Cheers to this happy boy as I keep looking for more opportunities to bring Imaxeubo to life.
Engineering is knowing how to manipulate systems.
Your certificate says little or nothing to say.
I build crazy electronics.
Hello September
August moved with speed. Hope you'd do same 🤧👽

I just completed my Smart IV (drip) Monitor project. 💧
This project has been a really interesting combination of embedded systems, signal processing, BLE, and mobile development.
The system uses an ESP32 to monitor an IV drip in real time, detect individual drops, calculate the drip rate (DPM), and display the information on a TFT screen.
I also built a Flutter mobile app that communicates with the monitor over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), allowing the drip information to be viewed remotely and the counter to be reset from the app.
The system also includes audible alerts for important events, including when dripping starts, when the system determines that the IV has finished, and when the counter is reset.
One of the biggest lessons from this project was that the algorithm isn't always the limiting factor.
The IR sensor itself introduces noise and variability, which means there is a practical limit to how accurate the detection can be with a single sensor. Getting truly reliable measurements would require improving the sensing approach, potentially with multiple IR sensors or a more precise sensing method.
For now, though, I'm happy to have taken it from:
Sensor → Embedded detection → TFT → BLE telemetry → Flutter app
and gotten the entire system working end-to-end.
Another hard-tech project completed. 🔧
Another client made happy.

I used to think being a good engineer meant knowing how to build almost anything.
I'm slowly realizing I was wrong.
When I started building electronics, every problem looked like an opportunity.
I remember when I'd just go to AliExpress and browse through the latest components in town.
Then I'd be like...
"What can I build with this?" 😂
And honestly, that mindset helped me learn.
This practice is actually very good, especially when you're trying to improve your skills.
But after working on more projects, I've started noticing something...
Sometimes, the smartest engineering decision is to NOT build.
Especially in hardware.
Because every unnecessary feature you add could be another component, another connection, surely another line of code, most probably another failure point, and eventually another thing to debug PATIENTLY.
And as we all know...
Hardware na money matter. 😭
I've had ideas that sounded great in my head but became completely different once I started thinking about the actual user, cost, reliability, and how the thing would work outside my workbench.
That's when I started understanding something:
Being able to build something doesn't mean it needs to exist.
And I think this is one of the biggest transitions from being someone who can build things to actually thinking like an engineer.
And don't get me wrong...
I still do this.
I still see a component and think, "What can I build with this?"
That's part of how I improve my skills.
I'm talking about builders who are building with commercialization in mind.
When you're building for a real user or a real market, you have to think differently.
You can't just ask:
"Can I build it?"
You also have to ask:
"Should I build it?"
I share my client builds, personal projects, experiments, and some of the things I've learned working with electronics and embedded systems.
Sometimes I'm building for a client.
Sometimes I'm learning.
Sometimes I'm exploring an idea just because I want to see if it'll work. 😂
Either way, if you're into electronics, embedded systems and HardTech, follow me. We're building here. 🔧

I've just finished working on a Smart Medication Reminder System for a client, and this one has been a really interesting build.
The goal was simple...
Help users remember when to take their medication and how much to take.
But underneath that simple idea is a pretty interesting combination of hardware, firmware, BLE communication, and mobile development.
The device is built around an ESP32-C6 and features:
⏰ A real-time clock for medication scheduling
💊 Configurable medication time and dosage
🔊 A continuous alarm when it's time for medication
🌙 A built-in night light
📺 A 128×128 TFT display
🔘 Physical buttons for interacting with the device
📡 Bluetooth Low Energy for communication with the phone
And then there's the Flutter companion app 📱
The app allows the user to:
• Configure medication schedules
• Set dosage and AM/PM
• Connect to the device over BLE
• Synchronize the device's clock with the phone
• Manage device settings
I avoided usibt an rtc module. Once the phone synchronizes the time through BLE, the device can continue keeping time independently. Not sp good because it has to resync anytime I turn it on but it achieves what it was meant for.
I've also had to pay attention to the tiny details...
Button debounce so one press doesn't become two.
Flicker-free TFT updates.
A blinking clock colon without refreshing the entire screen.
A small animated hourglass for a bit of life on the standby screen.
And a mobile interface that actually feels like it belongs to a healthcare product.
It's funny how something that sounds as simple as "remind someone to take their medication" can turn into an entire embedded system.

Im sure you noticed i used ai for this post.
No vex, I woke up with too much energy 🙃
