Who I work with

Industry, institutions and the public sector

Available for contract, subcontract and advisory engagements.

Industry & startups

Bioprocess, instrumentation and facility electrical design for companies building biological products and production systems.

Research & institutions

Laboratory instrumentation, power and control systems, and molecular biology support for research programs.

Government & public sector

Technical advisory and engineering services for agencies and public-sector programs. Get in touch to discuss scope and procurement requirements.

Process

How engagements work

  1. 01

    Scope

    Define objectives, constraints, safety and regulatory context before any design work starts.

  2. 02

    Analyze & design

    Model the biology and the electrical system together, so each informs the other.

  3. 03

    Build & validate

    Prototype, test against real biological loads, and document what the data shows.

  4. 04

    Hand over

    Clear documentation and support so your team can operate and extend the work.

Get in touch

Have a project in mind?

Tell me what you’re building, the constraints you’re working under, and where biology and electrical systems meet. I’ll reply with a clear view of how I can help.
