Hey, I'm Franklin. I'm an IT support professional with a Google IT Support certification and a habit of turning my weekends into build sessions. This blog — Brojects — is where I document the projects I do in my own time, for fun, to learn, and sometimes just to see if I can.
Most of what you'll find here sits at the intersection of hardware and software: Raspberry Pis, DIY home networking, keyboard builds, electronics repair, and whatever else I decide to take apart this month.
Why "Brojects"?
Bro + projects. It started as a joke name and then it stuck. Also it's just true — a lot of these builds happen because I wanted to figure something out and I learn better by doing it than reading about it.
What I'm Into
- Raspberry Pi & single-board computers
- Home networking & self-hosted services
- Electronics repair (the art of not buying new things)
- Mechanical keyboards — building, not just buying
- 3D printing for functional parts
- Linux, tinkering, and breaking things on purpose
How I Write These
Every post is a real build I actually did. I try to be honest about what went wrong, what cost more than expected, and what I'd do differently. These aren't tutorials written from scratch — they're logs of what actually happened.
If something I wrote helped you or you did something similar and found a better way, I'd genuinely love to hear about it.
