PCB to production, firmware to cloud dashboards.

  • Deploy and maintain the whole backend through Docker Compose for single-command setup, staying responsible for ongoing monitoring, debugging, and iterating on the live system.

Prosthodontic Dental Technician

DENTCO Ltd / Smiles And More · Warrington, UK - On Site

Where the obsession with precision and getting the details right actually began, years before PCBs and firmware.

  • Fabricated custom dental appliances, dentures, Essix orthodontic retainers, and sports mouthguards, from impressions and plaster-cast models through to the finished prosthetic.
  • Mixed acrylics to precise ratios and finished each piece by hand, work where a fraction of a millimetre is the difference between a fit and a remake.
  • Ran the laboratory solo on multiple occasions: scheduling jobs booked in by dentists, sourcing materials from suppliers, and managing inventory.
  • Worked directly with patients, diagnosing denture issues and carrying out repairs and adjustments.
  • Still collaborate with DENTCO occasionally today, years after first walking into the lab.
