Accessible microfluidics for hobbyist and academic biotech researchers
2015 - 2016
My masters thesis - designed and built a custom PCB-mounted microfluidics product for automating microfluidic workflows. I worked with the London Centre for Nanotechnology, Imperial College’s Synthetic Biology Laboratory, and the London Biohackspace during product discovery, prototyping, and validation.
Large-format homebuilt laser cutter

I developed Jasper from concept to commercial production with two friends as a passion project. It ties together my love of plants, hardware prototyping, and building great products that empower others.
Enzyme extraction for F&B industry from plants in climate-insecure regions
2016 - 2024
I joined an Oxford spin-out to bring a new and promising crop, Lemna, to the world. We built two green-field facilities in rural Kenya, grew the team from 2 to 30, and worked with dozens of research partners and suppliers to develop the crop production and biorefining systems needed to realise our goal. I served as CTO and head of engineering.
