the System contravention project

I’m Charles, a mechanical engineer who believes technology should empower people, not used to control them.

I design and build with one purpose in mind: to give everyday people the ability to disrupt the systems that resist change and limit growth.

This blog is where I share the ideas, experiments, and engineering insights behind that mission. If you’re interested in innovation that pushes back against outdated forces and opens the door to a more empowered future, you’re in the right place.

After completing a project, I prepare all supporting files, detailed material lists, and any other resources needed to ensure others can reproduce the project accurately.
