SELECTED WORK

Proof, not promises.

A working prototype and four areas of engineering in motion.

Orange and white Smart Fish Sorting prototype with conveyor, overhead camera mount and front weighing station

PROJECT 001 — 2025

Smart Fish Sorting System

An end-to-end automated sorting platform integrating YOLOv8 computer vision, real-time weight classification, custom mechanics, and embedded control.

  • Computer vision
  • Embedded control
  • Mechanical design
  • Rapid prototyping

FOUR FIELDS / ONE BUILD MINDSET

Engineering you can see in motion.

Four short prototype demonstrations show how we move from a physical idea to a working mechanism.

  1. 01Robot integrationBring hardware and interaction together.
  2. 02Rapid prototypingMake, fit and refine real parts.
  3. 03Mechanism designTranslate motion into a useful function.
  4. 04Mobile platformsBuild and test moving systems.
