Hello! My name is Aly, I recently discovered stardance on instagram, I am a student from Egypt who likes to make projects using various electronics like arduino and esp8266. My interests include web development, embedded systems, and open-source software. I was first introduced to coding through a new subject my old school offered called "Steam", I was very intrigued by it cause it allowed me to combine my creativity with problem-solving. Asides from coding, I am also an athlete who plays swimming at my sports club.
I built an IoT security system using an Arduino and an ESP8266 that detects when a laser beam is interrupted and sends an alert through a Telegram bot. The project combines sensors, embedded programming, and Wi-Fi communication to monitor the laser in real time and notify users remotely. Through this project, I gained hands-on experience with Arduino programming, ESP8266 networking, hardware integration, debugging, and the fundamentals of Internet of Things (IoT) development.
I built a remote-controlled car using an Arduino , adafruit motorshield and a Bluetooth module. The car can be operated through a smartphone app, allowing for real-time control and feedback. This project enhanced my understanding of wireless communication protocols and embedded system design. I learnt how to build it through youtube videos and bought a kit from my local hardware store which included the body and motors. This was my first ever project!
I built a simple lighting control system using an Arduino, an infrared (IR) receiver, and a standard remote control. The system detects button presses from the remote and uses them to control an LED, demonstrating wireless input handling, signal decoding, and basic embedded programming.
