“The future depends on what you do today.”
Gandhi
My journey to learn electronics was ignited by a need to address Julian’s postural compensation. What began as a personal mission to help Julian achieve his best, evolved into a boundless passion for invention and creative exploration.
Here are a few creations...
ARGait
An augmented reality system that provides users with real-time, interactive visualisation of detailed foot kinematics in dynamic, three-dimensional space, enhancing spatial understanding.
J-Shoes
J-Shoes are smart shoes that monitor weight distribution between both feet to support proper posture. They sync via Bluetooth and send real-time data to an Android app, which also lets users adjust settings on the go.

Laser Gun
A standing platform that tracks weight distribution in real time. Balanced posture activates a laser gun for target practice; imbalance disables it. The target has 15 random-light sensors and a digital score display.
TipToe Tracker
A small device that fits into user’s sock and monitors the angle of his calf. If the leg isn’t perpendicular to the ground for too long, it gently vibrates to remind user to stand flat.
Marble Run
Since the laser gun wasn’t suitable for Julian, the same standing platform was adapted to control a marble run. When he stands with proper balance, marbles roll through the course. If his posture is off, they vanish down hidden chutes!
Finger Trainer
A device to help Julian improve his fine motor finger coordination. A series a five pressure sensor pads, each attached to their respective strip of programmable LED lights. The more pressure that is applied...the more lights light up!
Laser Balancing
A very simple laser pointer device attached to Julian's chest. On the wall are markings that he has to point to while standing with feet flat!!
Splint Box
A precursor device to the TipToeTraker. If the angle of his calf is not perpendicular to the ground for more than an accepted amount of time, the device vibrates to remind user to stand flat.
Dorsiflexor
The Dorsiflexor integrates a linear actuator to passively induce ankle dorsiflexion by applying a controlled linear force to the foot.
