I develop complex ideas into buildable, working systems by bringing together design, electronics, code, and validation for a final system that works reliably and reproducibly. Background PhD neuroscientist and biomedical engineering postdoc at UBC’s School of Biomedical Engineering. My job is to design experiments, develop research instruments, and pair them with analysis pipelines for publications and open-source release. This same toolkit extends to non-research projects, including prototype mechanisms, instrumentation, and production-ready CAD. Highlights • Experience: 13 years designing and developing custom experimental equipment, including collaborations with industry partners. • Design Portfolio: 3 complete behavioral systems with 10+ total instruments deployed. • Methods Publications: 2 first-author peer-reviewed papers and 2 preprints detailing my systems. Core Skills • Design and Fabrication: SolidWorks CAD (assemblies, drawings, motion, rendering), DFM, jigs & fixtures, ECAD, wiring harnesses, soldering/rework, laser/waterjet, CNC mill/router, FDM/SLA 3D printing, manual mill/lathe • Control and Robotics: embedded systems; closed-loop control; motion control; embedded C/C++, Python, ROS, AVR/ARM MCUs, Raspberry Pi, I2C/UART/SPI/EtherCAT, DC/Stepper/Servo, GRBL, timing/TTL syn. Approach My approach to design is grounded in practicality: tailor designs to the fabrication methods available and sufficient to make them. I enjoy working with both technical and non-technical creators alike. Whether you need a rough concept 3D model based on a back-of-the-envelope sketch or a full parameter-driven multi-component, multi-material mechanical assembly, I’m here to help translate your idea into a real, buildable product.

I bring a diverse range of skills and experience that add value to any team or project. With a strong mechanical background, I can understand and work with complex systems. I’m quick on my feet, allowing me to assess situations and make effective decisions under pressure. My organizational skills ensure that projects run smoothly and deadlines are consistently met. I have 6+ years of experience as a drafter, plus an additional 3 years of technical drafting apprenticeship, making me skilled at turning concepts into detailed technical drawings. On top of that, I studied for 3.5 years in the evenings to earn my state-certified engineering degree, underscoring my commitment to quality and industry standards. I excel at interpreting blueprints, which helps me visualize and execute complex designs accurately. I have worked extensively with AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, and Solid Edge, which enhances my ability to create precise designs. Additionally, my broad tool knowledge allows me to work effectively with various equipment. Overall, my skills and experience provide a strong foundation for contributing to projects, improving processes, and achieving successful outcomes.
