Mechatronics Engineer
Generalist by choice
I work across electronics design, embedded firmware, control systems, and mechanical engineering, from circuit boards to working mechanisms.
Engineering philosophy
There are several proper ways to solve any engineering problem. A proper solution is one considered from every relevant point of view: in accordance with established standards, procedures, and the specifications of the project. The engineer's role, unlike the scientist's, is to identify and deliver that solution.
Proper means technically sound, but also manufacturable, safe, maintainable, and reproducible. Standards and procedures are not bureaucracy: they are accumulated knowledge about how solutions fail in the real world. Meeting them is my job.
“Proper” is one of my favorite words in English. Every time I face a new challenge, I find myself asking the same question: what are the proper ways to approach this?
