Deveillance

01In short

I'm working on two things at Deveillance: one physical, one in software.

The first is a three-axis gantry: a robot that moves along three directions to create a controlled environment where products can be tested automatically and their performance measured. The second is training machine learning models.

02What I do

• Designing, fabricating, programming, and testing a three-axis gantry system that serves as a controlled environment for automated product testing and performance characterization.
• Training machine learning models.

03Building the gantry

A three-axis gantry moves a tool head along X, Y, and Z, so it can put a sensor or a product in exactly the same position, the same way, every time. That repeatability is the whole point: it turns product testing from a manual process that's hard to repeat into a controlled experiment.

I'm handling it end to end: designing the frame and motion system in CAD, fabricating the parts, programming the motion control, and testing the rig itself so its measurements can be trusted.

The rig also connects to the other half of my role. Consistent, automatically collected test data is exactly what machine learning models need to learn from.
