Experience

• Developed safety-critical embedded software for respiratory medical devices, contributing to new Airvo 3 features.
• Built automated testing tools and collaborated on code reviews, unit testing, and embedded systems development using C/C++.
• Co-developed new software features for the Airvo 3 respiratory device supporting critical patient care.
• Developed an automated testing protocol using Arduino to simulate over-pressurization events via I2C.
• Validated critical device shutdown functionality, including recognition under 150ms and motor shutdown within a further 50ms.

• Gained embedded systems development experience for the Airvo 3 within medical regulatory standards.
• Expanded and developed a device driver library using I2C and SPI for off-the-shelf sensor components.
• Worked with sensor components for flow rate, temperature, humidity, and pressure.
• Created a software error injector to simulate sensor readings and test critical device safety features.
• Used Git for version control, change tracking, and team workflow.

• Gathered requirements from clinicians, technology partners, and prospective users, translating stakeholder needs into functional, safety, usability, and interface requirements.
• Architected a tele-robotic ophthalmology platform integrating embedded control hardware, motion systems, imaging equipment, communications software, and a commercial telemedicine platform.
• Designed and implemented hardware-software interfaces integrating a Raspberry Pi controller, embedded firmware, motor-control hardware, the oDocs Nun IR camera, and remote-operation applications.
• Led hardware-software integration and MVP validation, including asynchronous communications, real-time monitoring, and subsystem fault handling.
• Developed safety-critical motion-control behaviour, including speed restrictions and transitions to safe states following detected faults.

VistaVision was developed to address the lack of specialist eye care access in rural communities. In New Zealand, only a small number of rural ophthalmologists serve hundreds of rural towns, leaving many people without timely access to specialised eye care.

The company provides rural patients with real-time and remote ophthalmologist assessments through a telerobotic examination system, enabling diagnosis without long travel distances or extended wait times.

I designed and implemented interfaces between a Raspberry Pi controller, embedded firmware, motor-control hardware, the oDocs Nun IR camera, and remote-operation applications. The device progressed through multiple clinical trials, including deployments at Dargaville Hospital in New Zealand, and was later shipped internationally to satellite hospitals in India to support remote ophthalmology services.

I also developed safety-critical motion-control behaviour, including speed restrictions and transitions to safe states following detected faults, while working with clinicians and pilot partners to refine the system design.

The project received multiple startup and innovation awards through the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the University of Auckland, recognising its potential to improve healthcare access in underserved communities.
