Bootleg Engineering is a personal showcase of off-grid, self-driven engineering. Built by an independent engineer tired of uninspiring industry work, this site documents ambitious home-grown projects—from robotics and control systems to embedded hardware and mechanical design. ​Every build is a challenge taken up without institutional backing—just curiosity, grit, and a shed full of tools. It's not polished R&D. It's not corporate-approved. It's bootleg—and it's better for it.​ Follow the projects, read detailed logs, steal some ideas, and leave feedback if you’ve got better ones.
