Projects

DDLC — Modular Electronics Hardware System In progress Lead

Designing a three-box modular system: Raspberry Pi 5 controller with display, camera & LED-lighting module, and an ESP32 I/O module driving a 4-channel opto-isolated relay board over MQTT.
Planned power distribution with 24 V / 12 V rails and 5 V buck converters, including separate rails per subsystem.
DDLC BETA CORE: compact 300 × 150 × 50 mm ACP enclosure with top-panel display and joystick and a dedicated AC power side panel.
Managing project batches (Beta 0–2, Gamma 0) with tracked component costs.

DDLC Invento — Inventory & Finance Web App In progress HTML · CSS · JavaScript · Firestore

Web app for tracking components and purchases across project batches, with auto-generated SKUs and stock movements.
Planned features: barcode scanning, downloadable inventory statements, and an AI assistant that answers questions from real database records.
Deployed on GitHub Pages: afkar-3374.github.io/ddlc_invento

Tempro — Multi-node IoT Climate Monitoring ESP8266 · DHT11/DHT22 · MQTT
