2023 — now · Software developer

A word clock tells the time in full words: a grid of letters lights up to spell out the time — "it is ten past half three" — instead of showing digits. Mine ships to Dutch homes as Jouw Woordklok.

I develop the software that runs on the clock's ESP8266 microcontroller: the WiFi onboarding, the LED animations and colour effects, and keeping the displayed time correct — so the clock keeps getting better after it is on your wall.
