I’m Charlie Roberts, a first-year MEng Electrical and Electronics Engineering student at Imperial College London, and a UKESF Semiconductor Talent Award Scholar. Alongside coursework in circuits, digital electronics, and computer architecture, I build software and hardware projects on the side: web apps in Django, games in Pygame, and electronics built around microcontrollers, PCBs, and 3D-printed enclosures.
This site is where those projects live.
Selected Work
A desktop circuit editor and simulator I built myself: sketch a schematic, wire it up, and watch it actually work in DC, transient, and frequency response.
A WiFi-controlled rover that drives across a mock lunar surface, hunts down artificial rocks, and reads their signals to work out what type each one is.
What’s actually inside an op-amp? I spent a few months teaching myself, then built one from scratch out of individual transistors in LTSpice to find out.
A personal Django site with a few small apps (accounts, file storage, a to-do list with email reminders, and more), self-hosted on a Raspberry Pi at home.
A full 2D pool game built from scratch in Python, complete with its own physics engine, an AI opponent, and a full menu system.
A small collection of games built in Pygame while I was learning Python and game dev: a brick-breaker and a from-scratch Tetris.
A 24hr digital alarm clock I designed and built from scratch for a real client brief: a custom-etched PCB, crystal-accurate timekeeping, and a 3D-printed case.
A reaction-time game built around LED chasers, with a custom PCB and a 3D-printed triangular enclosure I designed myself.
