Electronics Hobbyist

- About -

My name is Osama, an electronics hobbyist who builds, breaks, and occasionally fixes things (sometimes in that order). I majored in Instrumentation & Control Engineering at Jubail Industrial College in Saudi Arabia.I spend my free time designing and building projects, because I’d always rather DIY than buy, even if that usually (okay, always) means a harder and more frustrating experience. Feel free to get in touch!

- Projects -

Some of the electronics projects I’ve built, documented here for fun, context, and future reference.

(This is the part where I pretend I’m not showing off.)A few things I’ve done that turned out cool enough to mention. Projects, recognitions, or milestones that stood out along the way.

Patent Pending: Luggable Computer MKII (RAJAB - 1446)

This is my first project to hit the “patent pending” stage, which honestly feels pretty awesome. The Luggable Computer MKII is a portable PC built from the ground up, packed with some cool custom features.

Having a patent pending on something you designed yourself? It’s a milestone that makes all the late nights and troubleshooting totally worth it.Can’t wait to see where this takes me next!

Open Day - JIC (JUMADA I - 1445)

After completing my diploma at Jubail Industrial College, I was invited back to present my graduation project during the college’s Engineering Open Day. The event was attended by senior faculty, the department chairman, and representatives from the Royal Commission.

I showcased a proof-of-concept wireless power transmission system, using magnetrons and waveguides to send electricity through the air... yes, like a microwave cannon, but a friendly one. The project was selected to represent the Instrumentation & Control division, and I was honored with a certificate of recognition for it.(This is probably the closest I’ll get to shooting lasers in front of VIPs.)

Diploma Graduation Day (RABI' II - 1445)

Walked out of my diploma with a 3.96 GPA (out of 4), which apparently means “first honor”... fancy words for “did the thing really well.”

Besides the certificate, I got this snazzy wooden plaque with a gold plate that basically says, “Thanks for not messing up.”Not gonna lie, it felt pretty awesome to get recognized for all the late nights, and caffeine.

Internship Completion (RABI' I - 1445)

Wrapped up my internship working alongside a fantastic team who treated me like family. I got a lot of positive feedback from my supervisor, enough that they recommended me for a position to the department manager.

More than anything, I’m grateful for the experience and the people I met along the way.

I'm always happy to hear from fellow tinkerers, curious minds, or anyone who accidentally ended up here and wants to say hi.I'm also open to collaboration opportunities or tech-related discussions.

This project is still in the making, once the video's out, you'll see more information about it here.

This project represents over a year of dedicated research and development into long-range wireless power transmission (WPT). Initially conceived as my Instrumentation & Control Engineering diploma graduation project, the goal was to explore the feasibility of beaming usable power across a room using focused microwaves.The system utilizes three reclaimed magnetrons (common in microwave ovens) directed into a parabolic satellite dish. A Fresnel lens at the focal point collimates the 2.45 GHz radiation into a directed beam. On the receiving end, a pair of Yagi antennas converts the microwave energy back into AC electricity.

While the original aim of powering a desktop computer at a one-meter distance was not met, the project succeeded as a rigorous proof of concept. It demonstrated key principles: the ability to generate, focus, and detect a microwave power beam, safely and measurably. Key achievements included wirelessly igniting fluorescent tubes and generating measurable AC voltage at the receiver.Two years after its initial completion, this prototype was entered as a solo project into a university-wide hackathon under the Renewable Energy category, where it served as a tangible model for discussing the future of space-based solar power.Safety Note: This project involves extremely high voltages (>2000VAC) and significant microwave radiation. It was designed and operated only using strict personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety interlocks. It is presented here for documentation and intellectual discussion only.Core Components:
- 3 x Magnetrons (2.45 GHz)
- Parabolic Satellite Dish & Waveguide Assembly
- Custom Fresnel Lens for beam collimation
- 2x Yagi Antennas
- Safety Interlock System & RF Shielding
- Instrumentation for Voltage, Field Strength, and Temperature MonitoringStatus: Proof of Concept. Retired from active testing. The unit is preserved as a demonstration model.

This project involved reviving and enhancing a PSP 2000 Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core Limited Edition handheld console after a decade of storage. The modifications aimed to extend battery life and add Bluetooth audio functionality, breathing new life into this classic device.Specifications & Modifications:- Model: PSP 2000 Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core Limited Edition- Battery Upgrade: Dual 804050 2000mAh 3.7V Li-Polymer batteries, totaling 4000mAh- Bluetooth Audio: Integrated KCX-BT-EMIITER Bluetooth 5.3 module for wireless audio output- Storage Expansion: Utilized a Pro Duo adapter with a 32GB microSD card- Aesthetic Modifications: Replaced face buttons with black variantsPerformance & Usage:With the upgraded battery, the PSP 2000 provides approximately 6–7 hours of continuous gameplay under heavy use, such as gaming at maximum brightness. Under lighter usage conditions, it can last up to a week without recharging.Additional Notes:The Bluetooth module used, the KCX-BT-EMIITER, is a low-cost Bluetooth 5.3 stereo audio transmitter. You can find the Reddit post I referenced for wiring this mod here.

This project was my first attempt at making a desktop-class computer more portable. Built during a tight one-week window of free time, the Luggable Computer MKI was designed to help me stay productive and entertained, while moving between cities during vacations.Specifications:- CPU: Intel i5 7600K (4 cores, 4 threads)- GPU: MSI GTX 1050Ti Gaming X- Motherboard: Gigabyte Z270 chipset- RAM: 16GB Corsair 3000MHz- Storage: 6.5TB total (1TB NVMe SSD + 5.5TB HDD)- PSU: Corsair 450WThe build itself was more improvised than planned, documentation was minimal (sorry about that… lesson learned!).Despite its rushed timeline and rough edges, this luggable computer served its purpose and remains a reminder that sometimes, building with limited time and resources teaches you more than perfect planning.
