Ghost The Engineer

Ghost The Engineer explores deterministic, high-performance computational systems at the intersection of hardware, real-time design, and real-world modeling.

This channel focuses on the architecture of embedded systems, hardware-aware performance, real-time constraints, and the mathematics behind reliable computation. Rather than tutorials, the goal is to examine why systems behave the way they do, how memory layout affects execution, how scheduling influences determinism, and how simulation meets hardware limits.

If you're interested in computational engineering, embedded systems, performance architecture, and research-driven thinking, this channel is for you.

CHANNEL UPDATE

I'm still trying to figure out the type of content I want to create. I know I want to teach/lecture so I will continue working on the "Computers are not Magic" series. I'm also thinking about a bare-metal series (Simple Bare-Metal) to go in-depth with embedded systems - let me know if this interests you.

I also like to just build stuff and share it with you - like the Tamagotchi project I've been working on.

I'm thinking over the next few months, I will post around 2-4 projects as a one-time video which will go over that project. It can be embedded firmware or just software. I will also release 1-2 videos for "Computers are not Magic" and start "Simple Bare-Metal" series.

What do you think??

For my Embedded Systems friends:

What is the safest way to set a single bit in a register without affecting other bits?

Whoa, we hit 1k subs!!!

Thank you so much for helping me achieve this first milestone. I'm excited to make more content and grow a community that truly cares about education in computer science and programming.

With that said, I'm still figuring out the type of content I want to create and focus on. I feel there is a mix of people here. Please let me know which interests you the most with this simple poll.

Thanks again for the 1k subs!

So… I just made a Substack šŸ™ƒ

Interested? Here is the link: ghosttheengineer.substack.com/

This will be a great place for me to post a lot more information in text format about the stuff I want to cover. It will also be a place for starting conversations on certain topics. Let’s figure it out as we go shall we 😁

Wow, its like I never left!

All the love and reactions I've been getting on my shorts have been great and its super motivating to me to want to give this channel more of my attention.

With that said this week I will be recording and editing a video to release hopefully by the end of the week. Its for a series I've been wanting to create for a long time called "Computers Are Not Magic".

I will also continue working on the RGB Memory Game project. I'm not close to filming yet since I'm still actually building it. I may post a few shorts to show you how its coming along and provide updates on when to expect the full video. Remember, this project will also have exclusive extra features and a longer mini-series to go in-depth which will only appear on my Patreon - don't sign up for it now because I most likely will do a discount promo thing once the YouTube video premieres, but just wanted to let you know what to expect.

That's it for now, have a good night and thank you sooo much for your support!

šŸ‘‹Hey all

So I’m working on a fun little embedded project for you. You remember those memory sequence games? ā€œblue, blue, red… blue, blue, red, blueā€¦ā€ whelp, I’m making it for you and will go over it in the next video. The exciting part is that it is all bare metal so you get to really see what is going on under traditional HAL(hardware abstraction layer).

I want to also provide extra content to the project and go more in-depth in expanded video. So for this, I’m thinking about setting up a Patreon to do this. What this would mean is, I will provide a free look at how I make this project. But if you’re ready to step it up, I’d consider joining my Patreon. It also helps support this channel so I can finally grow it!

Does this interest you?

I'm thinking about making videos again but this time it will be a bit different.

So, I'm mainly a systems and mathematics guy so a lot of the content will be based on that (this includes embedded systems as well). It won't be modern C++ and lots of times it might actually just be C. I like to go over theory as well and break down how something works not just how to implement it - so I want my content to reflect that.

I'm not an expert. I'm a continuous learner and some things that I cover may just be sharing something new I learned (videos will be transparent about this).

We can all learn from one another and I want to be the staple to bring many together to watch, learn and discuss amongst each other (be kind to one another!!).

Personally, I will be pursuing a PhD in computational science as well as one in mathematics(one day). I also, own and operate Two Byte Games were I've built my own game engine and I will develop and release games with it (I'm also developing a hardware console(more on this in the future)). Also, I want to professionally teach in my older years as a professor.

Anyways... If you are interested in more content from me, let me know!!

Hey all! I’m thinking about creating a Patreon for those who want to support the channel as well as those who might be seeking 1:1 mentor/tutor. Which tier would you join?

Tier 1 - Supporter
* Early access to new videos (1–2 days early)
* Behind-the-scenes posts & polls
* Access to monthly Patreon Q&A thread
* Occasional ā€œbrain dumpā€ posts — dev notes, idea sketches, etc.

Tier 2 - Code Apprentice
* Everything in Tier 1
* Access to full bonus source code for each project/tutorial
* Downloadable cheat sheets, notes, or learning PDFs
* Priority async support — monthly Patreon Q&A thread.
* Access Monthly ā€œMini Challengeā€ prompt (e.g., ā€œmake a calculator with classesā€ find the bug, etc)

Tier 3 - Mentee
* Everything in Tier 2

Hey all! Once again, I've been super busy building my start up but I really want to continue this page.
With that said, what kind of C++ tutorial would you like to see??
