Open Bionics launched in 2018, the revolutionary 3d printed prosthetic "Hero Arm" which looks set to democratize access to affordable prosthetic arms. On the back of this success the company has completed a £4.6 million pound series A investment round with Foresight Williams Technology EIS Fund, joined by Ananda Impact Ventures and Downing Ventures. Whilst at Open Bionics I have been responsible for all aspects of electronic system design of the "Hero Arm" and its compliance with EN60601-1. Show less

I started RXP Electronics as a company to undertake subcontract electronic design for clients through. The "Hero Arm" project, which I undertook for Open Bionics, rapidly became a full time commitment, which led to me becoming a member of staff at Open Bionics. RXP Electronics is now shut down as I am fully occupied at Open Bionics. I started RXP Electronics as a company to undertake subcontract electronic design for clients through.
