Electronic Design Consulting
A consultant and service provider for customers looking to create consumer devices. If you might have a project for me, I’m always happy to hear about it. You can reach me on my Contact page.
Who am I?
I started offering my consulting services in 2019 after almost 20 decades as an electronics design engineer. I have a number of repeat customers. I still take on new projects however on a more selective basis where there are mutual interests.
Electro-euthenasia Project
In response to the evolving needs of the Inch Creek Hatchery in Mission, BC, a dedicated effort was undertaken to develop an isolated power supply system for the humane electro-euthanasia of salmonids. Early prototypes utilized off-the-shelf power supplies however these were both expensive and unreliable. We ultimately developed our own solution that is smaller, simpler and more robust. This innovative system represents a significant leap forward in the processing of salmon for egg harvesting. By enabling stunning and euthanasia in a controlled and efficient manner, it not only enhances the welfare of the fish but also ensures the highest quality of salmon eggs for the hatchery's conservation and propagation efforts.
