Selected work

Physical products

Each project is presented as a compact engineering case rather than a technical report.

EBIKE-PLATFORM

E-bike Control System

Embedded platform / electronics / mechanical design

A multi-generation e-bike platform combining a custom motor controller, modular displays, Bluetooth connectivity and purpose-built mechanical hardware.

ScopeElectronics • PCB • Embedded C • Bluetooth • Firmware updates • CAD • Waterproof enclosure • FDM prototyping
EBIKE-COMPACT

E-bike Compact Display

Modular interface / embedded firmware / PCB

A compact display variant built around the same central motor-control concept. The modular architecture allows different displays and interfaces to share the same central unit.

ScopeModular architecture • Firmware • PCB • User interface • Temperature sensing • CAD • 3D printing
RIDE-ON

Electric Ride-on Car Controller

Motor control / embedded / real-world tuning

Custom controller for a child ride-on vehicle, designed to improve smoothness of motor start and stop, proportional accelerator response and safety behavior.

ScopeMotor control • Embedded firmware • PCB • CAD • 3D printing • On-site tuning
MAGIC-BOX

Magic Box — Salateira

Commercial workflow device / electronics / prototyping

A workflow device developed for Salateira restaurants. Ready orders are stored on numbered shelves and illuminated indicators tell the worker which order to give the customer.

ScopeProduct concept • Schematics • PCB • Firmware • CAD • 3D printing • Operational workflow
THERMOSTAT

Smart Floor Thermostat

Embedded device / UI / PCB

A smart heated-floor thermostat designed from the ground up, including custom firmware, user interface, electronics and mechanical design.

ScopeEmbedded firmware • Electronics • PCB • Mechanical design • User interface • Prototype
SKI-HEATER

Bluetooth Ski Boots Heater

Battery-powered embedded device / Bluetooth / waterproof design

A compact battery-powered heating device with Bluetooth control, a simple two-button interface and a waterproof mechanical design.

ScopeBattery-powered embedded system • Bluetooth • CAD • PCB • Firmware • Waterproof enclosure • FDM
VENDING

Vending Machine Retrofit Module

Retrofit engineering / Bluetooth / embedded

A module designed to add smartphone interaction to an existing vending-machine workflow. The module communicates with the customer's smartphone via Bluetooth and authorizes vending actions.

ScopeBluetooth • Embedded electronics • Mechanical integration • CAD • Prototype development
PC-CASE

PC Case Redesign & Custom Water Loop

Mechanical engineering / CAD / system integration

Complete redesign of a horizontal PC case with a custom water-cooling loop. Fit was checked in CAD and custom parts were designed around the system. Winner of the local Be quiet contest.

ScopeComplex mechanical design • CAD fit verification • Custom components • System integration
CHILD-LOCK

Magnetic Child Lock

Mechanical design / FDM / productization

An invisible furniture lock designed specifically for 3D printing. It opens when a magnet is brought nearby and can be armed or disarmed.

ScopeMechanical CAD • FDM-oriented design • Mechanism design • Published public design
Systems
