Combining Creativity and Technology: My DEF CON 34 Unofficial Badge Collection

I have always enjoyed finding ways to combine technical skills with creativity. Badge making has given me a space where PCB design, electronics, soldering, firmware, artwork, and cybersecurity culture can all become part of the same project.

I am still on a learning path, and every badge I create introduces me to something new. What began with learning the basics of LEDs, resistors, battery holders, and SAO connectors has gradually grown into more ambitious hardware projects.

For DEF CON 34, I am releasing three creations that represent different points along that journey:

• The Hacker Boba Badge Buddy Soldering Kit
• The Flashing Crown SAO
• The new Agency Wand

Each one offers a different experience, from an approachable first soldering project to a programmable handheld badge with motion-based features.
