About

Former embedded hobbyist who built DIY adapters and now benchmarks controllers for consistency and delay.

Core Beliefs

Precision comes from measurable consistency.

Background

In a community tournament, my team lost a round to inexplicable whiffs. Back home, I wired probes into our controllers and discovered a firmware-induced 8 ms spike under rumble. Fixing that bug lifted our win rate overnight. Since then, I refuse to trust performance I can't verify.

Perspective

I prioritize latency, consistency, and build tolerances over aesthetics or price.
