I’m Aron - a ham radio operator (KJ5PEJ), Meshtastic tinkerer, and budget-minded builder.

This blog documents the projects I’m actually working on: SDR experiments, mesh networking builds, Raspberry Pi homelab setups, and ham radio adventures. Every post aims to teach the concepts behind the project, not just list the steps. If you want to understand why things work, not just copy-paste commands, you’re in the right place.

I’m not an expert. I’m learning in public, on a budget, and writing up what I find along the way. If that sounds useful to you, stick around.

You can find me on GitHub or reach me at aron@fromthebench.dev.
