Ah, another former Saint-Petersburg resident. Hi there, Alexander!

Working on a retro-computer BLE/USB keyboard right now (HW&FW), with quality, low latency, and emulator/HW compatibility as the special sauce: https://twitter.com/spbnick/status/1546555198046457856

But then I got distracted into building a device for testing its latency:

The FW is quite complete, but I only have one HW implementation :D

And then I got distracted trying to find a good way to acquire and retain the requisite deep BLE knowledge (already had some for USB), and drifted into exploring knowledge graphs as a means of processing and recording that knowledge.

Turned out all of knowledge graph databases are heavily front-loaded with schema development (and there are no actual GUI apps for them), whereas I have no idea what the schema will be, and would like to experiment with unconstrained data first. So I'm building a Python tool/library to allow free-form knowledge graph creation and schema inference, with data/schema export to some knowledge graph databases (like TypeDB or Stardog). I got to figuring out graph-building operators and expressions so far, and am making them work (the code probably doesn't make much sense):

An STM32-based business-card synth with touch-sensitive back-lighted keys. Got all the parts of the hardware more-or-less prototyped and working, but PCB layout difficulty (and my perfectionism) killed my interest for now:

An (integration) test framework for Bash (yeah, I know), written 10+ years ago to replace the one used by RH at the time (and to this day).

Didn't stick, left QE shortly after.
