PCB to production, firmware to cloud dashboards.

- Design schematics and PCB layouts in Altium and KiCad for custom IoT sensor boards, built to ISO 9001:2015 standards.
- Write embedded C++ firmware (Arduino/PlatformIO) for ESP32-C3/C6: WiFi provisioning, MQTT telemetry, persistent config, OTA updates.

- 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.

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.
