NAME: josh — human, tinkerer, shutterbug, scout
DESCRIPTION: General-class amateur radio operator. Builds things with microcontrollers and PCBs. Takes portraits. Spends time outdoors. Learning to live with less infrastructure, one project at a time.

Plan

Hello. I'm Joshua P. Luben. When I'm not chasing contacts on the radio or designing boards in KiCad, you'll probably find me on a trail, on the water, or figuring out how to live a little more off the grid.

This page is intentionally plain. No cookies. No tracking. Just text.

Interests

amateur-radio — General class. Portable ops and POTA (Parks on the Air): radio, nature, and adventure in one package.
electronics — Arduino tinkering and KiCad PCB design. Nothing quite like a board you laid out yourself actually working.
portrait-photography — People, light, and expression. Every face tells a different story.
scouting — Outdoor skills, service, and leadership. Useful when things get interesting.
offgrid-living — Power, water, and self-reliance. Learning to live well with less infrastructure.
kayaking-biking — Trails and waterways. Paddle or pedal; see what's around the bend.
