Mechatronics Engineer · Robotics & embedded systems
From first sketch to working machine.
I'm a mechatronics engineer specialising in robotics and embedded systems. I design the mechanics, electronics and code, then test them until they work in the field.
How I work
01
Start from the problem in the field, not the parts list. Who is it for, what breaks today, what does success measure?
02
Architecture across mechanics, electronics and software, so every subsystem is designed against the same constraints.
03
CAD, PCBs, firmware, apps and fabrication. I make the parts myself, so I know exactly where the tolerances live.
04
Verified against the requirements, trialled in the field and documented, with data to prove it works and people trained to run it.
About
I build complete machines: the mechanics, the electronics and the code. Then I take them out of the lab and make them work in the field.
