Systems engineering and signal processing consulting for medical imaging and device R&D teams.

Particular depth in motorized and motion-integrated imaging systems — the backbone where mechanical, electrical, and signal processing subsystems meet.

About

Systems engineer for medical device R&D, with a PhD in ultrasound signal processing — 15+ years from concept to deployment. Currently full-time at TEKNOLUS; freelance engagements accepted in parallel.

Services

Medical imaging signal processing and restoration

Signal processing and reconstruction consulting for ultrasound and related modalities. Specialization in commercial scanner data (post-log-compression DICOM), where textbook envelope-domain methods break down.

Nakagami statistics, Bayesian image restoration, multi-frame super-resolution, PSF characterization, quantitative ultrasound metrics.

3D freehand ultrasound reconstruction from orthogonal B-mode planes, alongside the probe's six degrees of motion freedom used for PSF characterization.
3D B-mode reconstruction from motorized freehand ultrasound acquisition, used for PSF characterization — from doctoral research.

Motorized probe and imaging system integration

Integration consulting for motorized probes and mechanical positioning systems with medical imaging signal chains. Relevant for teams building motorized ultrasound systems, robotic imaging platforms, or research systems where mechanical and imaging subsystems must be co-designed.

High-precision linear actuation, sub-pixel position tracking, speckle-based motion estimation, 3D PSF characterization, multi-frame SR acquisition.

Custom motorized probe assembly: CAD design, physical build, and custom motion-control UI used for sub-pixel position tracking and 3D PSF characterization.
Custom motorized probe assembly for sub-pixel position tracking — from CAD to bench test.

Systems engineering and architecture review

Systems-level design review and architecture guidance for small R&D teams building products with precision actuation, sensing, and real-time control. Focus on the integration between mechanical, motion control, and signal processing subsystems.

Architecture review, subsystem integration planning, technical due diligence, mentorship for junior engineering teams. Systems-level design review and architecture guidance for small R&D teams building products with precision actuation, sensing, and real-time control. Focus on the integration between mechanical, motion control, and signal processing subsystems. Includes defence-adjacent and dual-use device work (MIL-STD compliance, field-deployable systems) — no classified engagements.

Motion control integration (EtherCAT, RT Linux)

Multi-axis motion control system design and integration. Experience with Copley servo drives, PREEMPT_RT-patched Linux masters, and sub-millisecond control loops.

System architecture, drive selection and tuning, real-time performance evaluation, custom EtherCAT slave integration.

How I work

Remote-first, project-based. Typical engagements range from one-week focused reviews to multi-month integration support. An initial call is free and used to assess fit and scope.
