The work
in full.

Building Ares: a lower-leg sensing sleeve that combines IMUs, surface EMG, and force and pressure sensing to detect non-contact injury risk in elite athletes before it becomes an injury. The focus right now is ACL mechanisms in women's team sport, where incidence is disproportionately high and a single injury can sideline a player for nine to twelve months.

My work spans the full hardware arc: circuit simulation and system-level modelling, control PCB design from schematic through manufacturing files, board bring-up and verification, cross-device communication architecture, power IC evaluation and integration, structured test case development, and technical documentation to IEEE standards.

Every design decision involves a trade-off: sensing fidelity against wearability, battery life against sample rate, clinical rigour against field practicality. The long-term ambition goes beyond sport. The multimodal dataset Ares generates is a second product in itself: motion priors from elite human performance, usable for robotics and embodied intelligence research.

This is where silicon meets the human body. Getting it wrong matters.

The digital divide is not a generosity problem. It is a decision friction problem.

Hundreds of millions of devices are discarded every year, not because they are broken, but because nobody has a reliable way to determine what to do with them. The intent to reuse exists. The infrastructure to act on it does not.

ReviveTech is building RUDS: a privacy-first diagnostics and recommendation pipeline that takes a device and returns one of four paths: reuse as-is, repair then reuse, needs human inspection, or recycle. It removes the ambiguity that sends perfectly functional hardware to landfill.

The longer vision is a shared Device Passport standard: a common format that lets refurbishers, schools, nonprofits, and device banks work from the same data, so a laptop assessed in Melbourne can be matched to a classroom in regional Victoria without anyone duplicating work.

Building the foundation before talking loudly about it.

I teach circuit theory to undergraduate engineers at Monash. The gap between understanding a formula and knowing how to use it on a real bench is surprisingly wide, and mostly it just takes someone who has been on both sides. I remember being the student who could follow the theory but had no idea what it actually looked like in practice. That gap is what I try to close.

Contributing to human-first hardware for people with ADHD and AuDHD. The original Pebble proved you could build something people genuinely loved without making it disposable. Pebbl Tech carries that ethos forward with modular, open hardware that respects how people actually think and work. My contribution is on the circuit design and hardware iteration side, working toward a product philosophy I believe in.

FPGA-based real-time processing. RTL design in VHDL and Verilog, memory pipeline architecture, static timing analysis, hardware-in-the-loop testing. The kind of work where timing constraints are actual constraints, not suggestions.

Contributed to the development of a portable ECG monitor. Component selection, PCB layout, and STM32L4 firmware for ECG signal processing, filtering, and transmission. First real encounter with the weight of building hardware that touches a human body.
