Things I've built — tools, experiments and side projects. Some shipped, some learned from, all intentional.
Project Pepper started out as a passion project custom-made for a family member. Which then i realized that the potential for the technology of pepper was something the IOT market has never seen before.
The core idea was to make a fully local personal companion what does not rely on fragile server links and apply the logic directly on the hardware onboard.
The main technical challenge was to use the limited compute on low power IOT platforms (ESP32) and achieve convincing results of an aware, empathetic and interactive personal companion.
