Toni Santos is an environmental sensor designer and air quality researcher specializing in the development of open-source monitoring systems, biosensor integration techniques, and the calibration workflows that ensure accurate environmental data. Through an interdisciplinary and hardware-focused lens, Toni investigates how communities can build reliable tools for measuring air pollution, biological contaminants, and environmental hazards — across urban spaces, indoor environments, and ecological monitoring sites. His work is grounded in a fascination with sensors not only as devices, but as carriers of environmental truth. From low-cost particulate monitors to VOC biosensors and multi-point calibration, Toni uncovers the technical and practical methods through which makers can validate their measurements against reference standards and regulatory benchmarks. With a background in embedded systems and environmental instrumentation, Toni blends circuit design with data validation protocols to reveal how sensors can be tuned to detect pollution, quantify exposure, and empower citizen science. As the creative mind behind Sylmarox, Toni curates illustrated build guides, open calibration datasets, and sensor comparison studies that democratize the technical foundations between hardware, firmware, and environmental accuracy. His work is a tribute to: The accessible measurement of Air Quality Module Design and Deployment The embedded systems of Biosensor Integration and Signal Processing The rigorous validation of Data Calibration and Correction The maker-driven innovation of DIY Environmental Sensor Communities Whether you're a hardware builder, environmental advocate, or curious explorer of open-source air quality tools, Toni invites you to discover the technical foundations of sensor networks — one module, one calibration curve, one measurement at a time.
