About

I am an Optical Engineer driven by the challenge of taking advanced photonic technologies out of the lab and into the real world. My core expertise lies in bridging the gap between deep tech R&D prototypes and stable, ISO-certified commercial products. Core Technical Impacts: Biomedical Innovation: Adapted THz architectures for cancer margin detection, designing systems that meet the rigorous standards of medical device certification (ISO 13485). Industrial NDT: Engineered robust systems for defect detection in industrial materials (like MDPE pipes) and I have executed over 30 Proof of Concept (PoC) studies, adapting complex optical systems to meet rigorous industrial constraints. Simulation & Analysis: Proficient in optical simulation tools and Python (custom algorithms for signal extraction). Field Reliability: Hands-on experience with alignment, installation, and on-site troubleshooting for research institutes and industrial clients. I am passionate about advanced photonic systems, bringing a rigorous engineering approach to solving complex optical challenges.
