In this new episode of Build, Create & Learn – A Maker’s Journey, I take a step back to rethink how I share my work — and return to a more honest, conversational format that feels closer to the way I actually build, experiment, and learn.

Over the past weeks, I’ve been working on a new hardware-hacking project called HakFabrik, exploring whether real demand exists for a dedicated IoT security training device. From shaping the first concept and building the landing page to setting up a simple signup flow, this episode captures the early stages of validating an idea before writing a single line of firmware.

Alongside that, I’ve been expanding my home lab with a dedicated malware and reverse-engineering environment, isolated through VLANs and Proxmox — a place to safely experiment, analyze code, and dive deeper into cybersecurity without risking my main systems.

And after nearly twenty years on macOS, I’m finally jumping into the world of Linux as my daily driver, preparing my new laptop for everything from hacking tools to future firmware development for HakFabrik.

This episode marks a small shift in Season 2 — away from rigid scripting and back toward documenting the real moments, discoveries, and missteps that make up a maker’s journey.

Thanks for listening, and for following along as this adventure continues to evolve.
