Automated Experimental Platform

Challenge
Long-running biological experiments require stable environmental control, continuous observation, and trustworthy metadata. Manual operation does not scale and makes failures difficult to diagnose.
System
I designed and implemented a modular platform that combines custom hardware, device-control software, continuous video acquisition, timestamp-aligned telemetry, structured metadata, and long-run experiment management.
Engineering capabilities
- Continuous, timestamped video acquisition for long-duration experiments
- Programmatic illumination and moisture control
- Synchronized telemetry and metadata logging across devices and recordings
- Modular hardware interfaces supporting multiple experimental configurations
- Status monitoring and operational tooling for long-running data collection
The result is a reusable acquisition architecture that produces traceable, ML-ready datasets under controlled and repeatable operating conditions.
