Hamzah Abugosh is a maker, engineer, and content creator based in Texas, USA, and the founder of Piote Labs (also written PioteLabs), an open source hardware brand and YouTube channel built around one idea: making should be accessible to anyone willing to try.

His projects follow his curiosity: electronics, 3D printing, woodworking, firmware, and whatever a build happens to need next. Each one is documented on YouTube and published openly so anyone can follow along. Build guides and design files are free to download on this site, firmware lives on GitHub, and kits and finished products are available for anyone who would rather start from a kit or skip straight to using the real thing.

Piote Labs is built for makers, science and tech enthusiasts, and DIYers, but the longer goal is a community. Every project is designed with multiple ways in: follow the builds on YouTube, make one from scratch using the free guides, contribute improvements on GitHub, or pick up a kit or finished unit. Whichever way someone joins, there is always a next project to follow.

Hamzah is an engineer by training and a maker by default. He graduated with high honours from Middlesex University Dubai with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems Engineering, where his dissertation project was already a build: an anti-tailgating device that measured the distance of the vehicle behind a driver and warned them when the gap became unsafe. He has spent the years since working professionally in the data protection and security sector while building embedded systems projects on his own time, spanning custom sensor hardware, firmware, 3D printing, and the fabrication in between. Piote Labs is where those threads come together.
