Hello everyone, My name is Eric, founder/director of Rapid River Skunk Works Corporation, a small Michigan nonprofit R&D effort focused on practical field technology, sensing, safety, and security research. I’m working on a project called SeeEm, a low-cost outdoor field-sensing concept designed to study movement, presence, and environmental activity using distributed hardware, camera-confirmed ground truth, and an inference layer called AETHER. The first validation site is an authorized private hunting property with trail cameras, deer, bear, ATV activity, feed zones, blinds, and flood-prone terrain. At this stage, I am intentionally keeping the technical implementation private while I work through early validation and IP protection. The general goal is to build a practical system that can compare sensor events against camera-confirmed activity and eventually provide useful field intelligence. I’m interested in connecting with other inventors, builders, and product-minded people who have experience with outdoor electronics, weatherproofing, low-power deployments, Raspberry Pi-style field hubs, camera validation, embedded prototyping, or taking early inventions toward formal development. I’m happy to discuss the general problem space publicly. For anyone seriously interested in investing, collaborating, manufacturing, or reviewing the deeper technical side of the project, I would prefer to do that under an NDA or similar confidentiality agreement. I’d appreciate any general advice, lessons learned, or suggestions from the community. I also hope I can bring value back to the community. My background spans cybersecurity research, red team physical and cyber penetration testing, stress testing, auditing, appsec, OSINT/investigations work, Linux/VPS administration, embedded prototyping, Raspberry Pi and ESP32-style projects, field electronics, and hands-on problem-solving. if you vibe-code and don't check for maintainability and security, I have solutions for that too. I’m happy to share lessons learned, offer feedback where useful, and support other builders working through early-stage invention and validation challenges.
