Engineering journey

From concept to working prototype

Mechatronics as the point where technologies converge.

Mechanics, electronics, automation and software must operate as one system — only then is a solution ready for testing and implementation.

I graduated in mechatronics from Silesian University of Technology. My expertise covers mechanics and machine design, electronics, control, embedded systems, industrial communication and the integration of complete technical systems.

I gained professional experience as a mechatronics specialist at Łukasiewicz Research Network – EMAG, working on electronics, laboratory rigs, measurement automation, IoT solutions and device prototyping.

Expertise

From mechanics and control to a complete prototype.

The scope includes technical design, electronics, automation, embedded systems, IoT communication, data acquisition and AI-supported analysis of results.

01

Mechatronics and automation

Integration of mechanics, drives, sensors and control, and the construction of automated research rigs, prototype devices and systems using PLC, HMI and SCADA.

02

Electronics and embedded systems

Design, commissioning and diagnostics of electronics, embedded systems, data acquisition and communication through industrial and device interfaces.

03

Internet of Things and data integration

Connecting sensors, controllers and devices to IoT systems, remote monitoring, data logging and tools supporting process diagnostics.

04

R&D prototyping and data analysis

Building rigs and prototypes, planning tests, calibration and validation, and using Python, MATLAB and AI methods to analyse measurement data.

Selected projects

Technology integration that results in a working system.

These projects share a systems approach: from component selection and measurement-path construction through control and communication to data analysis and evaluation of practical value.
