Profile Biography Swiss Precision Meets High-Tech Innovation I am a certified Swiss Industrial Designer (Hf St. Gallen) and Mechanical Engineer with a passion for transforming complex technical challenges into elegant, functional products. Based in Switzerland, I provide a unique blend of aesthetic design and rigorous engineering, ensuring that every project meets the highest standards of "Swiss Made" quality. Core Expertise & Experience: With years of experience in the high-tech sector, I have had the privilege of working on cutting-edge projects across various demanding industries: • Consumer Electronics: Lead designer/engineer for German smartphone manufacturing (e.g., Volla Phone), focusing on ergonomic housing and internal component integration. • Aerospace & Defense: Engineering complex mechanisms for drone technology and rocket components, where precision and material durability are non-negotiable. • Industrial Machinery: Developing 2D/3D CAD models for OEM motor parts and mechanical assemblies. Technical Toolkit: I am a power user of the industry's leading CAD tools, allowing me to move seamlessly between creative concepting and technical production: • Autodesk Fusion 360: For agile design, organic surfacing, and rapid prototyping. • SolidWorks: For high-precision mechanical engineering, assembly management, and technical simulations. Why Work With Me? • Swiss Education: Trained at the prestigious Bachelor St. Gallen, I bring the legendary Swiss attention to detail to your project. • Multidisciplinary Approach: I don't just design "looks"; I engineer products that work, are manufacturable, and stand the test of time. • Reliability: I manage projects with transparency, meeting every milestone with professional communication and punctuality. Whether you are looking for a secret mechanical jewelry box, a high-performance drone frame, or complex OEM motor documentation, I deliver results that elevate your brand. Let’s bring Swiss precision to your next innovation.

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.
