Notes from 19 years on the factory floor and the CAD screen.
I write about the parts of product design and automation that founders and engineering leads actually need to know — not theory, but what I've learned shipping consumer electronics at Sony and architecting medtech lines for Intuitive Surgical, Illumina and Roche. New posts every two weeks.
Five things I keep getting asked about.
Product Design
19 years of DFM experience at Sony, Schneider Electric and IFM, distilled into what actually matters before you commit to tooling.
Automation Systems
Architecture-level lessons from medtech automation lines built for Intuitive Surgical, Illumina and Roche.
Startup Hardware Guide
End-to-end product realisation — from idea to manufacturer — for teams without in-house engineering.
Medtech Manufacturing Operations
Direct experience with Intuitive Surgical, Illumina, Roche and ResMed lines, written for regulated environments.
Career and Craft Insights
A personal perspective from 19 years across consumer, industrial and medtech engineering.
