Technical Writing
Product
Concept development, requirements, design iteration, DFM/DFA awareness, prototype planning.
Research
Study design, literature review, controlled experiments, comparative analysis, limitations and recommendations.
Testing
Benchtop evaluation, calibration checks, acceptance-criteria thinking, repeatability, failure investigation.
Quality
Working knowledge of ISO 13485, ISO 14971, FDA design controls, V&V, FMEA, CAPA/NCR, and IQ/OQ/PQ concepts.
Clinical

Selected project experience
Work grounded in real engineering problems.
These examples show the kind of thinking I bring to client work: define the need, understand the constraints, build carefully, test, and document.
Project 01 · Product development
Multi-Tool / Multi-Nozzle Bioprinter
Supported development and customization of a biomedical platform from intended use and system architecture through component selection, CAD, assembly, calibration, testing, troubleshooting, and design refinement. Work included printhead and nozzle components, subsystem interfaces, serviceability, and repeatable operation.
Project 02 · Wearable medical product
3D-Printed Thoracic Scoliosis Brace
Developed a customized wearable-device concept using body scanning, CAD, biomechanics, and additive-manufacturing principles. The project translated anatomical and user needs into requirements for fit, comfort, pressure distribution, structural support, adjustability, ventilation, safe use, and manufacturability.
Project 03 · Graduate research
FRESH and GelMA Bioprinting Evaluation
Designed and executed controlled bioprinting studies involving equipment configuration, pressure, speed, temperature, nozzle setup, material preparation, structural evaluation, live/dead fluorescence workflows, luminescence-based testing, Nikon confocal imaging, comparative data review, and graduate-thesis documentation.
Project 04 · Clinical engineering
Medical Equipment Lifecycle Support
Supported equipment installation, setup, inspection, troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, calibration readiness, functionality and safety checks, vendor escalation, service documentation, and return-to-use activities in hospital environments.
How I work
A clear and straightforward process achieved with technical experience and forethought to deliver quality.
Every engagement is scaled to the project, but the core workflow stays disciplined.
Define
Clarify the user need, technical objective, constraints, inputs, deliverables, and success criteria.
Develop
Create concepts, models, plans, or documentation and review the important engineering tradeoffs.
Evaluate
Check geometry, interfaces, test evidence, risks, repeatability, and practical build considerations.
Deliver
Provide organized files, findings, assumptions, limitations, and recommended next steps.
Background
Engineering shaped by research, product development, and clinical practice.
I am a biomedical engineer with an M.S. in Biomedical/Medical Engineering and more than four years of combined engineering, research, product-development, and clinical equipment-support experience. I work best on projects that require careful technical reasoning, hands-on problem solving, and documentation that other people can actually use.
My experience includes medical-device concepts, CAD-based development, additive manufacturing, bioprinting, biomechanics, biomaterials, controlled testing, equipment troubleshooting, data analysis, and cross-functional communication with researchers, clinical teams, vendors, and technical stakeholders.
M.S. Biomedical/Medical Engineering — Florida Institute of Technology
Graduate research in bioprinting, tissue engineering, experimental methods, imaging, technical analysis, and thesis documentation.
Biomedical Engineer — Living Heart Specialist Hospital
Medical-equipment troubleshooting, inspection, preventive-maintenance support, calibration readiness, vendor coordination, and service documentation.
B.Eng. Biomedical/Medical Engineering — Afe Babalola University
