Dream Workspace - A creative space filled with tools, electronics, and projects

For a long time, I've had a dream of creating a 'web tricorder' – essentially an all-in-one space to support various things I do. And now, I've finally brought that dream to life. In simple terms, I created these tools to make my work easier. Additionally, they can be beneficial for someone who has similar interests or passions.

I work as a firmware engineer professionally, but in my personal life, I explore things that truly interest me. I make an effort to approach them in my own distinct way, always thinking:

"Hmm, no one has done this before."

Acknowledging the truth, I do web-related stuff as a hobby, and it's not perfect. But I love that 'aha' moment when I accomplish these tasks on my own. I still remember how thrilled I was to see my website online. Tinkererway.dev is entirely built from scratch, and I'm currently making progress in the field of web development.

Website Philosophy

I choose not to put a paywall on this space. The content is intended to be valuable only to those who find it beneficial. Instead of aiming for high traffic, I want it to be a hidden gem discovered by those exploring the internet.

Everything on this website is entirely free. No ads, nonsense, or garbage.

About Me

Hey, I'm Amal—I love to tinker, build, and create. I studied Mechatronics Engineering because robots fascinated me as a kid, and I enjoy creative work because it keeps life interesting. Life is good when you know how to live—figure out what truly matters and let go of the rest. Some might call me a maverick. Maybe I am.

Principles

Guidelines I strive to follow in personal and professional life, acknowledging my humanity and imperfections. I possess no superpowers and am far from perfect. These principles evolve with time, shaped by experiences, and are subject to change as I continue to grow and mature.

Keep It Simple

Life's problems often have the simplest solutions—just look around. Work smarter, not harder.

Reset & Refresh

Stuck? Take a break. A fresh mind finds better solutions.

Appreciate the Good

If you see something valuable, acknowledge it. Gratitude brings positivity.

Fail Fast, Learn Faster

Expect failures, plan for them, learn, adapt, and come back stronger.

Adapt & Evolve

If something isn't working, change your approach. Adaptability is strength.

Iterate, Don't Perfect

The first version won't be great, and that's fine. Progress beats perfection.

Enjoy the Process

Win or fail, it all becomes part of your story.

Stay Resourceful

Start with what you have. Creativity thrives on limitations.

Set Systems, Not Just Goals

Goals give direction, but habits create progress.

Control What You Can

Worrying about the uncontrollable is wasted energy. Focus on what's in your hands.

Time is Priceless

Spend it wisely—it's the one thing you can't get back.

Your Future Self Will Thank You

Small, consistent efforts today create big results tomorrow.

Stay Fun

Don't take life too seriously. A little humor makes everything easier.

Use Fear as a Compass

The things that scare you often point to where you need to grow.

Be Who You Needed

Be the person you needed when you were younger. Guide, support, and inspire as you wish someone had done for you.

Not Everyone Will Get It

Your vision is yours—not everyone needs to understand. And that's perfectly okay.

Break It Down

Big problems become manageable when you tackle them in smaller parts.

Rely on Yourself

Self-reliance is freedom. Build the skills and mindset to stand on your own.

Share and Receive

Knowledge grows when shared. Be generous in giving and open to learning.

Give Credit Where It's Due

Acknowledge the people who help, inspire, and contribute to your journey.

Document Your Progress

Keep a log of your journey. Looking back reminds you how far you've come.

Don't Explain Yourself to Everyone

Not everyone deserves an explanation. Prove it with results, not explanations.

Do It for Yourself

Build what matters to you, not for applause. Recognition is just a bonus.

Learn to Let Go

Mistakes, regrets, grudges—some things aren't worth holding onto. Free yourself.
