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.

We’re not just designers—we’re problem-solvers who understand how things are built. At Metamorphosed, we specialize in interior design, cabinetry, millwork, and 3D visualization that looks beautiful and makes sense on site. With a background rooted in hands-on building and fabrication, our designs bridge the gap between concept and construction—so what you see on screen is exactly what gets built in the real world. We work with builders, renovators, and homeowners to bring projects to life faster and with fewer headaches. From high-end kitchen designs and custom millwork packages to detailed technical drawings and realistic 3D renders, we help streamline communication between clients, designers, and trades—reducing errors, saving time, and cutting down on wasted materials. Every design we create is technically sound, buildable, and crafted to reflect real-world precision. Whether it’s cabinetry detailing, millwork shop drawings, or full interior and exterior visualizations, our focus is always on making projects smoother for everyone involved.
