IoT electronics assignments have been my favorite, bringing together all my skills. Typically, these electronics prototypes are combined with 3D printed product design, interacting with a screen that serves as either an output, a controller, or both.
I take pride in the IoT projects I've delivered, which include fully-scripted prototypes featuring camera input, facial recognition, 4G/5G connectivity with remote devices and controllers, and, most importantly, connected screens. The scope of these projects ranges from simple interaction simulations to fully functional prototypes. The only limitations are the creativity of the script and, of course, the budget.
I've also conducted IoT workshops for TUI's technology department across Belgium, the UK, the Netherlands, and Spain, as well as for the Proximus trainee internship program and BNP Paribas's technology exploration initiatives. A notable aspect of my career has been the development of R&D prototypes for Tricryo from 2017 to 2023, which showcases my ability to turn innovative ideas into reality.
Today, as a trusted partner for Art Directors, I offer a range of services from electronics props to 3D printing the model structure and casing.

Use-cases
For De Mol, we created an electronics "Press the red button" working prototype, real-time triggering an unlocking part in another section of the set.
For the setup of a count-down doomsday set in Mallorca, an array of IoT touchscreens, real-time interacting with a central screen, all handled by the Art Director through a purpose built mobile app controller.
