About Touhidul Islam
I like building things, and I like understanding how they work.
Introduction
I’m an engineer and maker. Most of what I do sits somewhere between industrial automation, robotics and artificial intelligence: machines that sense, decide and act, and the control systems and software that hold them together.
I learn by building. Some projects turn into finished machines, some stay experiments, and some are just an idea I wanted to try. I write about what I learn, and I make music, videos and photographs when I’m not at the workbench.
This page is the longer version of who I am. You can find the things I’ve built under Projects, and the things I make for fun under Being Creative.

Professional & technical interests
Industrial Automation
Making factories and processes run reliably: sensors, actuators, PLCs and the logic that connects them.
Robotics
Machines that move through and act on the real world, from mechanics to motion planning.
Artificial Intelligence
Teaching machines to perceive and decide, and finding where that is genuinely useful.
Control Systems
The maths and feedback that keep a system stable, fast and predictable.
Engineering
Designing things end to end, and caring about how they hold up outside of a demo.
Programming
Firmware, tooling and software: the glue in almost everything I build.
Technology
Following and trying out what’s new, and working out what’s actually worth using.
Research & experimentation
Trying things to see what happens, and writing down what I learn.
