Any of these can be sized to a 15-minute slot or a full session. Happy to shape something
to your audience instead.
A
What a hardware engineer actually does inside a global brand
How a product moves from design to mass production, where NPI decisions get difficult, and who ends up carrying the risk.
B
Reading test data like an engineer, not a spreadsheet
Why the average lifetime is a dangerous number, what small samples can and cannot tell you, and how uncertainty gets made visible.
C
Using AI without outsourcing your judgement
Where agents genuinely remove friction in hardware development, where they must not be trusted, and how to keep an engineer accountable for the call.
D
From mechanical engineering to hardware at a consumer brand
A career path told honestly: the interviews, the coffee chats, the parts nobody puts on a résumé.

Techie Talk
Invited speaker
Tech Network · 2026
A meetup for tech-industry interns across SWE, HWE, PM and sales.
Shared what hardware engineering looks like inside a global consumer brand: from design to mass production, the decisions that get hard, and how AI can support the workflow without replacing the engineer.

SPIE Smart Structures + NDE 2026
Oral presentation
SPIE · Vancouver, Canada · 2026
An international conference on smart structures, materials and non-destructive evaluation.
Presented my master’s research, first author: a 9 × 6 × 0.5 mm ultrasonic piezoelectric plate motor with vision-based closed-loop control. Feedback cut orientation drift from 10.2° to 2.6°, reduced straight-line error by 82%, and let the motor carry nearly five times its own weight.
The fastest way to reach me is email. It helps if you can include the audience, the format,
the date and roughly how long you would like me to speak. A one-line message is fine too.
