1. Redesigned a sheet metal mounting bracket and reduced production cost by 75%.2. In SolidWorks: designed, modeled and drafted drawings for mechanical components and assemblies for pneumatic medical devices3. Carried out design changes, created ECNs and solicited stakeholder input and endorsements to efficiently arrive at the best solution.4. Adhered to ISO 13485 design controls, ensured design traceability and streamlined documentations by migrating existing paper-based DMRs to eQMS5. Ensured the safety of products and their regulatory compliance by performing risk management in conformance with the ISO 14971 framework on eQMS6. Cultivated good relations with local suppliers and negotiated discounted prototype pricing and expedited project timelines.7. Initiated and developed an automation script in Python to migrate thousands of engineering drawings to eQMS, completing 3.5 months ahead of schedule with minimum disruptions

1. Developed a IVD microfluidic chip and the associated platform, producing several patent pending innovative designs2. Designed and built motorized test fixtures from off the shelf machine components and custom parts. 3. Support the development of a flow cytometry based POC diagnostics platform4. Drafted mechanical drawings for manufacturers and fabrication shops. Championed the adaptation of GD&T principles for the company’s drafting practices, and produced several templates which helped establish internal engineering drawing standards5. Significantly expanded in-house prototyping capabilities by building a 3D printer and leveraging hands on experience. Resulted in time and cost savings across all projects6. Designed the company plaque for the manufacturing site in Shengzhen

Teaching assistant for BIOTECH 2M03, Molecular biology.

Hamilton, Ontario

1.Worked with a team of engineers, scientists and physicians in the development of a chemical power system for a point of care, molecular in-vitro diagnostics device. 2.Used SolidWorks and SLA 3D printing (Form 2) to rapidly prototype chemical cartridges and device enclosures.3.Deformulated a supplier’s lyophilization excipients via mass spectroscopy so that the recipe can be customized and produced in-house with a cost reduction of 97%4.Converted a hobby desktop cutter into a lateral flow membrane test line printer, providing a means to rapidly prove concepts without $30 000 worth of specialized equipment5.Received training in using lyophilizers and membrane test line printers.

Hamilton, On

1. Built and tested thermo-pneumatic microfluidic devices under sterile conditions. 2. Researched and demonstrated the feasibility of a novel chemical power system for point of care in-vitro diagnostics, earning approval for further development3.Identified the root cause of failure at a technology demonstration to investors, leading to the timely rectification of the issue and success in the subsequent demonstration. Helped the company secure the next round of funding as the outcome4.Carried out mammalian cell culture, PCR and LAMP amplification, animal testing/handling and characterization experiments in a biosafety level 2 virology lab.
