Hi, I'm Mangle. Design engineer in London with a physics background.
I like taking live, messy, real-world data and turning it into maps, motion and tools you get at a glance. Sometimes that starts with hardware: Where's My Flight runs off my own ADS-B antenna and a Raspberry Pi on my balcony. I care about the small stuff too, like hairlines, dimming and easing that never restarts.
I also build the system around the work. I run my own roster of AI agents with written rules for how they work and hand off, and I prototype fast, mostly at London hackathons.
Mostly TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind and Motion. Also Python, SwiftUI, Figma and Blender.
