Context

BenchLab builds real-time system telemetry for PC enthusiasts. It ships as a hardware unit plus the desktop software that talks to it — launched in partnership with Tweakers, the Dutch tech publication.

§ Process

Process

I led the port of the desktop client from WPF to Avalonia for cross-platform reach (Windows and Linux). The app handles power/voltage/temperature/humidity sensors, fan curves for up to nine 4-pin PWM channels, and 30 on-board ARGB LEDs. It bridges into HWiNFO for enthusiasts who already trust that ecosystem.
