Product Development

I possess an extremely wide range of skills. This allows me to do every bit of a product’s development – from initial research, design, 3D modeling, BOM, prototyping, short run manufacturing, and testing.

One of my favorite projects that I’ve done completely is Stomp Key.

Stomp Key Prototype Progression

Original Proof of Concept Circuit

Stomp Key’s original circuit was designed and proved on a breadboard inside a guitar pedal enclosure.

I’m very proud of this simple and small PCB that I designed and populated by hand. The board itself has a small micro controller, which I wrote firmware for and programmed with a programmer that I also built and programmed myself. The micro controller allows Stomp Key to emulate any number of key combinations programmed by the user.

The first printed prototype enclosure was done in PLA on my FDM 3D printer.

The second working prototype functions flawlessly and I still use it. The total time from idea to this second working prototyping was less than 30 days. The first proof of concept was working within a few hours of the idea.

Here is Stomp Key’s video from a crowdfunding website, it shows what Stomp Key can do as well as highlight its applications.
