Mechanical design and robotics engineer
Concept to commissioned hardware. Six years designing machines, mechanisms and robotic systems in Hong Kong, from first requirement through to hardware running on site.
Robotics and product development
Robotics: mechanism design, actuation, end effectors and controls integration. Product development: requirements, analysis, DFM, vendor management and commissioning. I have carried both disciplines on the same programme.
A small web game I built on the side. Since you are already here, give it a try.
I have led a product from one end to the other
The stages below run in the order the work happens: the requirement that starts a programme through to hardware installed and running. I have carried a product across that whole distance, and led the work at each stage on programmes that shipped: surgical robotics, orthopaedic implants, ocean robotics and a 15,000 A industrial plant. Each stage carries its evidence and a detail sheet of the work behind it.
Why the work matters
Delivered hardware operates close to people. An implant in a hip. A mechanism beside a surgeon. A 15,000 A plant, running a few feet from the person operating it. A robot working in open water.
Delivered
15,000 A electrolysis plant. Grams to tonnes in twelve months.
Surgical robot mechanisms, into cadaveric and animal trials.
Orthopaedic implants and instruments. Implant simulation system, deployed in industry.
First ocean robot built and tested. Now a funded company.
Delivered
Typical engagements
A machine or mechanism to be designed from requirements.
A prototype that has to become a manufacturable product.
A design to be manufactured in China, managed end to end.
A hardware team that needs an additional engineer for a period.
