Projects, with the difficult parts left in

Each of these describes what was actually hard and what was decided, not a list of technologies. Where a project was delivered under contract, the engineering is described and the client’s branding is not reproduced.

UAV-01

Hero: Altium 3D render of the rigid-flex assembly in its folded, installed geometry. A flat board render sells none of the difficulty.

UAV & defense-adjacent 2024–2025

Flight-controller carrier for a tube-launched UAV

Teardown, clean-room re-implementation, and a rigid-flex carrier that fits inside a launch tube.

USV-01

Hero: system architecture diagram as a clean vector drawing, not a photo. Sensors on the left, compute in the middle, bandwidth figures on the arrows. This case study's value is the thinking, so show the thinking.

Marine autonomy 2025

Edge-compute architecture for an unmanned surface vessel

Three architectures compared on real bandwidth budgets, so the platform decision was made on evidence rather than TOPS figures.

RAD-01

Hero: the sensor node installed in a ceiling or wall position, in a real room with real light. Context sells this one — a bare PCB says nothing about presence detection.

Building automation & IoT 2023

mmWave presence detection for building automation

Radar instead of PIR, because PIR cannot see a person sitting still.

MED-01

Diagram: isolation-barrier block drawing showing patient-connected, applied-part and mains-side domains. Original vector artwork, no client hardware.

Medical devices 2023–2024

Patient-connected electronics under IEC 60601-1

Where the isolation barrier is drawn decides the whole architecture — and the documentation is a deliverable, not an afterthought.

SUMO-01

Hero: the robot on the dohyo, side-on, low camera angle so it looks like a machine rather than a toy. Slight motion blur is fine.

Robotics 2023–2025

Competition robot: designing for repeated high-energy impact

A reliability testbed that punishes every shortcut — and where a destroyed capacitor turned into a transient-survivability design rule.

PLC-01

Diagram: dual-path topology, RF and powerline on one board, with the isolation boundary marked. Original vector artwork.

Smart energy 2024

Hybrid RF and powerline communications for smart metering

Neither RF nor powerline reaches every meter. The interesting engineering is in carrying both on one board without either ruining the other.

Your project isn’t on this list.

That’s normal — most of what we do is under NDA. Tell us what you’re building and we’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right engineer for it.
