Formal Experience
Below you will find a chronologically ordered list of both personal and professional projects that I have worked on.
Metrological Comparison of CMM and Structured Light 3D Scanner
Year: 2025 - current
Project type: Metrology
Institution: Denmark University of Technolgy
Structured light scanners are now avaliable at a record low price. Some models clain 'Metrology grade accuracy'. Since I found the devices very useful for work, I decided to do a special course where I would verify the advertised precision and accuracy of a low cost structured light scanner with a Coordiante Measuring Machine. I plan to publish the results online when the course is finished.
XCT Examination of welds in metal parts
Year: 2025 - current
Project type: Master's Thesis
Institution: Denmark University of Technology
In my thesis I aim to investigate defects inside and on the surface of welds made between metal parts. Defect density in a weld has a profound impact on its strength and fatigue resistance, yet is difficult to get complete data on the defect size and spacial distributions without destructive testing. XCT holds promise as a method for non destructive examinaiton of welds, even on very complex parts where the welds may not be accesible by other methods. The results thus far have been very promising, with weld regions being clearly diferentiated from the base material by their porosity.
Mushroom lights
Year: 2025
Project type: Design
After encounteirng some AI generated images of interesting looking mushroom themed lamps online, I decided to make a human designed rendition of such a product. I designed and printed a set of three psychadellic mushroom lamp shades and with a friend lathed the legs out of hardwood, oiled them and assembled the ambient lighting fixture. Although there are three seperate lamps, they are a set bound together by a common cable. Water soluable supports made the complex geometry possible and the support removal easy.
Gantry System
Year: 2024 - 2025
Project type: Automation
Company: DeNoize
The Gantry System is designed to move a sensor array around the full volume of a room to automate tests, and enable entirely new tests as part of R&D. The system uses purchased to length linear axis, industrial automation components and custom designed hardware. I was responsible for the whole project start to finish and dealt with the design, sourcing, manufacturing of both the mechanical assembly and electronics. The system is soon to be installed.
Industrial meat slicer repair
Year: 2024
Project type: Reverse Engineering
After a friend had come into posession of a broked industrial meat slicer, we decided to repair it for fun. After disassembling most of the machine we discovered a broken gear with mangled teeth inside the gearbox - the only plastic component inside the subassembly. Using structured blue light 3D scanning I sucessfully designed a perfect replacement gear and 3D printed it from carbon fiber reinforced nylon, a material more durable than that which the original gear was fabricated from, restoring the machines operation. The scan of the recovered gear fragment and reconstructed gear are visible in the image.
Post processing VAM prints in a nitrogen atmosphere
Year: 2024
Project type: R&D
Institution: Denmark University of Technology
Volume Additive Manufacturing, and more specifically here Tomographic Volumetric Printing is an additive manufacturing method where an entire object is materialised at once in a vat of thick resin, in opposition to layer by layer as is conventionally done. Unfortunately, due to the curing mechanism of the resin, the surface of the parts remain tacky after curing, which diminishes the practical utility of the technology. Oxygen inhibits the polymerisation of the resin, so it has been proposed that post processing the objects in a positively pressurised nitrogen filled chamber would reduce this effect. The project consisted of designing and manufacturing the chamber, as well as printing and post processing the test objects, which were indeed not tacky.
Chessbot
Year: 2024 - current
Project type: Electronics & Design
Chessbot is tabletop robot that can play chess on a physical chess board. The five bar linkage swiftly maneuvers itself above a custom designed chess piece, and an electromagnet swoops down to pick it up. A jerking motion allows the arms to swing through the underconstrained region of motion and positions the effector over the designated square. A reed switch in the board registers the peice being placed, and the turn is passed to the oponent - you. The blue LCD counts down as you realise that the machine has mate in 1, unless you figure out something clever.
Design Synthesis Exercise
Year: 2023
Project type: Preliminary Design
Institution: TU Delft
The Design Synthesis Exercise (DSE) is the culmination of the Aerospace Engineering Bachelor's Degree at TU Delft. My team's project concerned the design of an in space repair satellite, the mission of which would be to correct an electrical fault in a real, on-orbit, but non-functional satellite. I dealt with the design of the propulsion subsystem, as well as contributing to the design of several other subsystems. I made use of my CAD skills to recreate a model of the defunct satellite from it's documentation and photos, allowing us to effectively come up with a plausible repair strategy and also created most of the visualisations. I obtained a very high grade of 8.5 for my contribution to the project.
Automated data collection robot
Year: 2023
Project type: R&D
Company: DeNoize
In order to perfect the noise cancelling algorithm used in upcoming DeNoize products, collecting data on the real world performance of prototype devices is crucial. This tedious process requires positioning a sensor close to the active windows surface, and taking measurements, in a high density grid. In order to maximize the amount of data that could be collected, while minimizing employee time involved in the process, I worked on the design of a parallel SCARA robot. This extended R&D effort vastly expanded on my skills in the areas of robotics, research and mechanical design.
The Mo
Year: 2023
Project type: Engineering and Design
Company: DeNozie
While the main focus of DeNoize products is active noise cancellation, sound production is also a very important feature. The Mo is a window-mounted speaker. I guided its journey from detailed design to manufacturing, aiming to demonstrate the expected audio quality for our upcoming line of window-mounted noise-cancelling devices. As a short self-contained project at the company, the results were produced in under a month. With sleek design and impressive audio quality and loudness for its size, The Mo successfully demonstrated the possibility of high quality sound production from future DeNoize products.
Germination Analysis Box
Year: 2022
Project type: Engineering and Design
Company: AgriData Innovations
During my time at ADI I worked on several projects, but most notably on the GA Box, redesigning most physical aspects of the machine. The new version is more durable and looks more professional and attractive. My responsibilities ranged from conceptual design and detailed CAD models to photorealistic renders and extensive documentation. I also worked with the rest of the hardware team in the workshop, manufacturing and assembling products.
Smart-Eyes
Year: 2022
Project type: Engineering and Design
Company: AgriData Innovations
Given ADI’s business is collecting and analyzing data in greenhouses, designing camera housings is an always ongoing process. The Smart-eye is the primary camera housing used in their products, including the GA Box. As cameras changed and the requirements for the housing evolved with new clients and environments, I was tasked with keeping the Smart-eye design up to date.

Small Rocket Project
Year: 2019 - 2020
Project type: Aerospace Engineering
Organisations: DARE, TU Delft
Small Rocket Project is an activity hosted by the DARE (Delft Aerospace Rocket Engineering) student society. Teams of six people come together for a few months to design and build a small two stage rocket, and then see it fly. Together with my team we built a rocket that successfully flew (but did not successfully land) in September 2020, despite having to improvise many of the components due to workshop closure as a result of COVID-19.
Community Workshop
Year: 2018 - 2021
Project type: Teaching CAD & Electronics
Organisation: FABLAB Tricity
FabLabs are a form of hackerspace where the local community of makers can come together to use tools, work on projects and exchange knowledge. I partnered with FabLab Tricity to organize several series of workshops, mainly teaching beginners and enthusiasts on the topics of Arduino robots, CAD, 3D printing and ceramics. I also hosted workshops on similar topics at my high school, also in partnership with FabLab Tricity.
Stratospheric Drone
Year: 2017 - 2019
Project type: Aerospace Engineering, Electronics
Organisation: 3-SAT
I was part of the engineering team in 3-SAT where I worked primarily on HAMAV (High Altitude Micro Air Vehicle), designing and manufacturing parts, doing work on electronics and testing. Our prototype was the first micro class drone to return an experimental payload autonomously from the stratosphere. The project was awarded multiple national awards in my home country of Poland, and won the special CERN award at EUCYS 2019. I have co-authored a peer reviewed paper on the technology and method behind the project. It was presented at IFAC in September 2019.

Extended Essay
Year: 2018
Project type: Engineering
Organisations: IB World School 0704
For my Extended Essay subject in the IB programme I chose Design & Technology. My school did not offer the topic and had no teachers prepared for it, but I was able to cover the entire course curriculum by myself and score a perfect grade for my project. The project in question was an extruder for a 3D printer for ceramics. I worked on the project from the conceptual design, to CAD, and manufacturing. I verified the manufacturability, assemblability and structural integrity of the design in CAD before moving to the physical world. Performing iterations on part designs based on my findings allowed me to save time and resources on physical prototyping, for which I later used FFF 3D printers and a CNC mill.
TriMUN Conference
Year: 2017 - 2018
Project type: Web Design
Organisation: IB World School 0704
TriMUN is a model United Nations conference hosted yearly by the IB class of my high school. I took part in organizing the conference by creating a new website for it which I wrote completely from scratch. The website contained multiple subpages and was highly optimized for fast load times and mobile performance. I also took part in the conference itself representing the UAE in the economics committee.
