Helping mid-sized companies develop hardware products that customers love. From user research and concept generation, to manufacturing optimization and market success.

Within GINDUMAC I was part of Machine Spector, the research and development division whose mission it is to bringing modern data analytics to legacy industrial machinery. The main part of my job consisted in developing the hardware for connecting machines to the cloud. This included both the industrial design of the sensor enclosure, as well as guiding the electronics development by balancing product requirements such as battery life, data transfer rate and manufacturing cost. In order to get meaningful insights from the data provided by the sensors I also had to implement some basic machine learning/signal processing models. The second major responsibility I had was to help in developing the web application for Machine Spector, front-end and back-end. Some of the technologies and frameworks central in developing the webapp were: Django, Javascript/JQuery, PSQL, HDF5 and MQTT. Apart from these two responsibilities I also assisted to various degrees in a number of managerial tasks such as: project planning, recruitment and business model development.

As part of the last semester of the Industrial Design Master I worked for Top Notch Design AB in Stockholm. My assignment was to develop a multi-purpose action camera accessory.
