      No, I have not. However, I want to create new knee implant, which would help patients with knee joint replacement.

      I once made a laptop stand for my girlfriend and she is still using it to hold her painting. 😀

      I hope not, the systems I design and develop are used for skin cancer treatment. Given the growing cases of skin cancer across the world there is a chance that they will be used more often.

      Not yet! But I am working on creating medical robotic systems that perhaps will help both doctors do their jobs better every day and patients getting well sooner.

      No, unless you count the code I’ve written that I use myself most days!

      Thus far in my career I haven’t designed anything that’s made the market just yet, but i’ve contributed to the improvement and upgrade to an exisitng piece of technology that is still being used to this very day.
      During my run working as the Technical Manager of Speir Hunter Ltd(https://www.speirhunter.co.uk/) I contributed to the development of Version2.0 of what’s now regarded as the UK’s first non-invasive pipeline condition monitoring scanners and also led pilot projects which helped steer the company towards a more recognizable ‘brand’ in the area of Oil & Gas integrity.
      Speir has grown since I left the company and every time I see or hear about them in the news, a smile comes to my face for reasons explained above. 🙂

      Not yet, but at work we are trying to develop a new process to break down plastic using enzymes!
