About
I'm a mechatronics engineer (B.Eng. in progress, Jade University of Applied Sciences, Germany) working at the intersection of mechanics, electronics and measurement technology. That intersection is where most enclosure and sensor assembly problems appear — and where I'm strongest.
What I deliver
Part and assembly design in Fusion 360, CATIA V6 and Inventor, through to manufacturing-ready data, with design-for-manufacturing for FDM printing. Alongside that: electronics and sensor integration (KiCad, Raspberry Pi, drive selection) and measurement data evaluation and visualisation in Python and Excel.
Selected projects
In a maritime research project I built a complete reference measurement station — from concept through design and fabrication to commissioning in the field, including a sensor box with an embedded computer, power supply, active cooling and sealed cable glands. Other work: a weatherproof protective housing with an integrated air-purging system, a camera gimbal system including drives and procurement planning, and the design of a wind turbine shaft with bearing selection and fatigue verification.
How I work
There's usually no specification at the start — just a problem. I define requirements in conversation, assess feasibility and cost early, and iterate fast: I print my own prototypes, which keeps the loops short. I document results so they still make sense months later.
