Reanna Francis

Full-stack engineer · IoT tinkerer · Solar punk dreamer

Hey — I'm Reanna. I build things for the web and for the physical world. This portfolio is where I document what I make: code, hardware projects, art, and the occasional long-form piece about how it all fits together.

What I do

  • Full-stack web development (Next.js, Node, Postgres, MongoDB)
  • IoT systems and embedded firmware (ESP32, MQTT, Home Assistant)
  • Automation and data pipelines
  • Generative art and creative coding

The solar punk angle

I'm drawn to technology that feels alive — systems that grow, adapt, and decay gracefully. A lot of my hardware work sits at the intersection of tech and biology: grow light controllers, environmental sensors, hydroponic automation. The solar punk aesthetic isn't just decorative — it's a design philosophy about resilience and repair.
