Hi, I’m Chendur!

I am a Robotics engineer, writing software for robots to navigate around using physics and math since my graduate studies at Carnegie Mellon University - where I explored electronics, mechanics, and software.

Fueled by a passion for gadgets, I curated the 'How do Gadgets work?' newsletter for over 3 years, where I took my readers on a 3-minute journey every other week to demystify the inner science and workings of various gadgets. You can read all past newsletters and blogs here.

This year, I’m running a series of ten monthly challenges, one focused experiment each month from March to December — where I commit fully, document the process, and publish what actually worked, what failed, and what I learned along the way.
