Comment “WATCH” and I’ll send you a link to episode one! 🔗
Watch me in a new web series for Tech and Racing fans! 💻
Over the past few months, I’ve been working with @eni and @alpinef1team to get an exclusive insight into the data, materials and people driving innovation behind the scenes.
We’ve launched the first episode, which is all about DATA (sounds exciting right?)
This is something we’ve never done before, so I’d love to get your feedback! 🗣️
Also, shoutout to @carolinatedeschi for jumping on this adventure with me and bringing her motorsport expertise to the series! 🏁

Charles Leclerc and I designed his new helmet using generative AI! 💻
Using AWS PartyRock, we created an application that enables us to design F1 helmets by describing the design in plain text! 💬➡️🌠
You can design your own helmets using the AWS PartyRock F1 Helmet Designer by visiting the link in my bio! ⬅️
Thank you to @scuderiaferrari and @amazonwebservices for arranging this awesome collab! 💻🏎️
What do you think of the final design? 🤔🎨

Using a Raspberry Pi and Python, I’ve built my own Cyberdeck with a Formula 1 theme!! 💻
This personalised mini-computer has 2 screens for viewing race data, as well as LED Lights for the flags and an LCD display for messages from race control. ⚡️
The software was built on top of a “lite” version of the F1 Race Replay project. 🏎️
If you’d like to learn more about how I built this, subscribe to my newsletter by clicking the link in my bio. I’ll be posting the full spec sheet either this week or next week! 📧
#ad @whatsapp has just announced Incognito Chat with Meta AI, and it’s such an important update to the way you interact with AI. 💬
Most AI providers offer private and temporary conversations, but this is more than that.
While your conversations might be private, the systems processing those messages can still see the content. 👀
With WhatsApp’s new Incognito Chats, your conversations with Meta AI are now fully encrypted from when they leave your phone to when they reach the secure environment that processes them, and can only be seen by you.
That means no analysis, no side-processing. Just the way you want it.
If you’re a developer building AI systems, I recommend taking a look at the whitepaper for this new feature, it’s a pretty interesting insight into how it all works! 🧠
This is project is going to be amazing!! 🤯
I’m building the ULTIMATE Formula 1 Cyberdeck, and in today’s episode, I built the software for the project. 🏎️
Using the 2 screens, I’m able to display the track map, leaderboard, weather infomation, and even a driver telemetry tool which can be controlled via a touchscreen. 📊
In the next episode, I’ll be 3d printing all of the housing for the project and fitting it into the case! 🧳
I’m building the Ultimate Formula 1 Cyberdeck! 🏎️
The internet is going crazy over Cyberdecks at the moment, so of course I had to build one, and I had to make it about Formula 1.
My idea behind this project is to use the Cyberdeck to display race telemetry and a track map showing the cars going round the circuit.
So far I’ve assembled all of the components to check they work. Next, I need to build the software that the Raspberry Pi is going to run!
If you want to put your projects out there, you need somewhere reliable to host them ☁️
After building the Formula Chat project, I wanted to deploy the full stack somewhere lightweight and accessible outside my local machine. 📱
So I added an authentication layer and used Docker Compose to deploy the entire stack on a lightweight VPS. 🐳
Thanks to Bluehost for sponsoring this video. If you want to check out Bluehost VPS hosting, hit the link in my bio. 🔗
Ever thought about building your own API for your house? 🏠
That’s what I’m doing, and to make it as functional as possible, I need to build some hardware that allows me to do things like:
- Turn on light switches 💡
- Detect people 🧍♂️
- Change the temperature 🔥
And much more!
Today I got started by building version one of an automated light switch that I can control directly through an API endpoint.
What should I build next for this project? 👀
Also just as a disclaimer, the reason I'm holding the servo motor in the test clip is because I haven't figured out a way to mount the servo to the switch yet (I'm not cheating 😂)
Your favourite racing series could be using 5G in the future!!
Traditionally race circuits will install radio frequency transmitters and other systems to transmit data from the cars to the relevant systems for data analysis, communication, and broadcasts.
Earlier this year I got to see in person a Formula E car use a 5G data connection to transmit data from the car back to the garage.
It really opened my eyes because not only is the existing tech solution very expensive, it also takes a huge amount of time to set up. And this could be the solution.

If you’re feeling burnt out as a developer, you should try learning electronics. ⚡️
Last year I started feeling extremely burnt out creatively. And while all of it can’t be blamed on AI, it definitely didn’t help.
While AI coding tools are fantastic, and you absolutely should be using them in your day to day work, its true that if you rely on them too heavily, you’ll stop exercising your creative muscles.
So this year I’ve made the commitment to really try to learn more about electronics (finally putting that electronics kit that I bought in 2022 to good use).
Now, I do already have some experience with electronics, but I’m no way near where I want to be.
If you’re truly starting from scratch like I was back in 2022, here’s the advice I would give me (see the carousel above)!
And of course, follow for more tech content! ❤️
I built this F1 race summariser and then made it open source! 🏎️
My latest micro-project sends me detailed race reports the morning after a race weekend. 📄
Each report contains:
- a driver position chart
- a race results leaderboard
- an AI-generated summary of the most important moments in the race
This project was built using TypeScript, Python, OpenAI’s Agents SDK and the Resend API! 💻
If you’d like me to share the link to the GitHub Repo, let me know! 💬
The VIRAL F1 Python Project made it to the keynote stage. 🏎️
Yesterday I spoke at @datadecodedhq with @techwithmatheus
“Telling a story using motorsport data”. That was the focus of my time on stage.
As a fan, you don’t really see it, but an F1 car is generating huge volumes of data every second...
and on its own, that means nothing.
But when you start digging into it, you can find some pretty amazing insights. Things like:
- where a driver actually gains time
- how braking style changes a lap
- why two cars that look identical… aren’t
And what I love is that this data has been made publicly available!
Sure its not all of the data that engineers have access to, but its enough to enable F1-loving programmers like me to build projects that the community loves.
Thank you to everyone that sat down to watch the session, thank you to Data Decoded for putting on an awesome event, and thank you to Matheus for putting me forward for the opportunity!
Looking forward to the next one! 🙏
