ESP32 Spotify Controller
activeA pocket-sized hardware remote that talks to the Spotify Web API straight from an ESP32-S3 — token refresh, playback state, and a small display driver stack.

Raul
Embedded Systems & Software
Student at FIME-UANL working across the stack that connects hardware to software — from Verilog on an FPGA up through Python services and the firmware that ties an ESP32 to the internet.
§ ABOUT
I like problems that sit at the boundary between disciplines — where a scheduling algorithm has to run on real hardware, or a firmware bug turns out to be a systems-design decision in disguise. Most of my coursework and side projects live in that overlap.
Outside of class, I build small hardware tools for myself: a Spotify remote on an ESP32, drivers for displays that don't quite fit the standard library, and the odd Flask app when a project needs a proper backend.
