    Simple Little Shelf

    I have wanted to have a small shelf on the kitchen wall ever since I moved into my apartment but have not been able to find the perfect one. Instead of buying a shelf that I am not completely happy with, I decided to make my own. When building something like this, I find that…

About

I’m Victor Henkow, an engineer with a bachelor’s degree in Engineering Physics and a master’s in Wireless, Photonics, and Space Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology. Like many engineers, I’m driven by the joy of making things—whether for fun, as a challenge, or to solve life’s everyday inconveniences.

Over time, I’ve learned an annoying truth: if you don’t document your creations, it’s almost like they were never made at all. We add comments to our code, but when it comes to other projects, we often skip the step of recording what we’ve done. As a result, solutions become mysteries; forgotten steps, lost insights, and unresolved questions about our own logic.

This blog is a space where I can document my own work and share my knowledge with others. By making my projects public, I also find motivation to do things the right way—you never know who might stumble across your work and find value in it
