Hardware I've designed, analysed and built
Each write-up covers the requirements, design decisions, numbers, testing and results.
Rhoic →
Mechanical, electrical and software work for a deep-tech reactor startup: a coaxial reactor housing designed for 10 bar, an automated furnace controller, a rebuilt 50 kV electrospinner, an ultrasonic coating rig and the lab's instrumentation.
STRIDE →
A knee and hip rehabilitation device for stroke patients. Motorised ball-screw knee drive, passive curved-rail hip guide, redesigned over trials with ten volunteers.
Galassia 5 thermal →
Passive thermal design for a 6U CubeSat. Orbital heat-flux model, duty cycle, transient simulation, and four heatsink iterations for the Ku-band amplifier.
Becton Dickinson →
Injection mould toolroom on a high-volume medical device line. Helped cut carbide core pin failures by over 70%, found that over 60% of mould repair time was travel and waiting between departments, and automated purchase approvals from days to under one.
TurtleBot ball launcher →
A periscopic rack-and-pinion launcher that stows below the LiDAR plane. Servo sized with a 3× safety factor; all five balls delivered on the final run.
Printability prediction →
Twenty bracket designs sliced, scored and ranked. The lightest was the worst to print, and a weighted index picked a 19 g design.
Factory feeding automation →
Two costed options to automate feeding on a bioplastics line: screw conveyors or suction. Projected 4.5–5.7 month payback; approved, not built.
