Gavin Nurrafiq

I am an electrical engineering student focused on electronics, the kind of person who writes Python for fun, wrestles with C when the hardware demands it, and turns curiosity into small mods, tools, and experiments.

Below is where I keep the trail of my work: essays, code, modding projects, and practical notes from things I am learning or building. If something here saves you time, brightens your day, or makes your favorite game a little better, a coffee helps keep the next late-night build moving.

Now

Currently in motion.

A quick snapshot of the ideas I keep orbiting: engineering explainers, practical science, computing concepts, and essays that make technical things easier to feel.
