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 am a Mechanical Engineer and STEM Educator based in Vancouver with a focus on robotics, mechatronics, and product design. I specialize in taking projects from the 'napkin sketch' phase all the way to 3D printing and prototyping. ​Core Services: ​3D CAD Modeling: Expert in SolidWorks and Fusion360 for complex assemblies and housing designs. ​Robotics Development: Experience designing humanoid robots, wearable AI devices, and servo motor modules. ​Electronics Integration: Seamlessly integrating PCBs, sensors (ESP32), and actuators into mechanical housings. ​Programming: Proficient in Python, C, and Godot for simulation and control logic. ​Whether you need a custom enclosure for a PCB or a full mechanical rig for a robot, I build designs that work in the real world, not just on the screen.

I am a recent Mechanical Engineering graduate with specializations in mechatronics and computer-aided manufacturing. I initially delved into 3D printing and modelling as a hobby to supplement my degree, but it quickly evolved into a strong passion of mine and is now my primary field of interest. I am experienced in mechanical design, CAD modelling, mesh modelling, sculpting, FDM/SLA 3D printing, and 3D printer troubleshooting and repair.
