Natalie's Nonsense Nook
Hello! I’m Natalie. My focus and work centers around critical infrastructure and communications. Specifically:
- Datacenters, technical infrastructure, and scalable systems
- Two-way radio communications
- Facilities systems like intrusion alarms, access control, and fire alarms
- Networking
I also design and build bespoke systems from the hardware and circuit board level all the way up to high level distributed job management software. I am very passionate about data, from sensors and data collection to analytics and AI. In short, I like to make things talk, and better understand what they’re saying.
From time to time I contribute to OpenStreetMap, but by no means am I an expert.
Some cool things I’ve worked on
You can read about all the random stuff I do on my blog. Some bigger milestones worth mentioning are:
- DVMProject: Turns analog base station radios and inexpensive hotspots into digital P25, DMR, or NXDN trunking-capable infrastructure. Contributed early on to hotspot support and testing.
- OpenAutoBench: Automates radio test and alignment workflows to be used with any capable instrument (30+ years old to recent) and any capable radio on almost any platform.
- KFD-AVR: Proof of concept keyloader that turned into a product. Originally was a port of the KFDtool to Arduino core, which inspired a number of similar projects such as the KFDnano, KFDMicro, KFDpico, and others.
- Timey Wimey (blog post + repo to be published)
- Porting OpenWRT to Cradlepoint
- Silly goose stuff
- My backpack
