Hi, Heyy, Holaaa.
I’m Daniel but DannyUzo is fine, I love building things…software, hardware, peopleware(kinda) and I really enjoy conversations, especially technical ones but remembering everything said during a conversation is nearly impossible so I decided to document my journey, thoughts, and experiences.
Right now, I’m navigating the world as a Mechatronics Engineering student with a heavy focus on robotics research and intelligent systems. I’ve always been fascinated by the magic that happens at the intersection of the physical and the digital.
Fun fact about me: I can tell you “thank you” in 8 different languages. :)
Welcome to my corner of the internet, let’s keep the conversation going!
🔌 [Ep 0] Preface: Killing the Magic
You want to build a simple obstacle-avoiding robot… but what happens when yours aggressively vibrates and resets? This series exists to transition you from a hardware prompt engineer to a real Mechatronics Engineer.
🤖 [Ep 3] ROS, CAD and Research
·6 mins
The last few weeks have been a plethora of activities: simulations, steep learning curves, low-power drone research at ETH Zurich, web-based CAD modeling with Onshape, and modular software design with ROS.
🌿 [Ep 2] A Green Diversion
When we hear about climate change and CO2 emissions, we picture large factories, cars, ships… but did you know the code you write has a carbon footprint too? This episode is a major eye-opener into Green Computing.
🛠️ [Ep 1] Foundations... and Then a Disaster
I walked into Day 1 of my SIWES placement expecting an immediate adrenaline rush. Instead, I was handed a desk and a task: source component prices on AliExpress, while my laptop screen pulled a WhatsApp ‘view once’ on me…
