HARDWARE
Welcome to my Hardware Projects section! I have a strong background in Mechanical Engineering (undergraduate degree) and practical experience in a range of techniques, focusing on CAD Modelling, Finite Element Analysis, and Control implementation. My expertise also includes design verification, rapid prototyping, and advanced machining methods like 5-axis machining, milling & lathes, and 3D printing. Take a look at my projects to discover how I leverage these skills to develop innovative solutions in the industry.
