SERVICES
I define and shape ideas into practical execution.
When standard paths end, that’s where mine begins.
CORE
Electro-Vacuum & Specialized Builds
• Vacuum tubes and enclosures (experimental, X-ray, electron sources)
• Internal structures - electrodes, cathodes, targets, getters
• Material selection for vacuum, heat, and HV environments
• Glass, quartz, ceramic modules, glass to metal seals, glass sintering
• High vacuum (HV/UHV) experimental and research systems
• Setups for electron optics, X-ray, plasma, and high-temp. environments
• Electro-vacuum components, interfaces and assemblies
• High-voltage integration, feedthroughs, and insulation solutions
• Vacuum processing: outgassing, conditioning, material preparation
Focus: One-off vacuum components and high-voltage assemblies for scientific, R&D, and industrial use.
Prototype & Fabrication
• Functional scientific prototypes and instrumentation
• Glassblowing and micro-glass work (borosilicate, quartz, specialty assemblies)
• Mixed-material builds and thin-geometry or fragile components
• Custom mechanical parts, fixtures, holders, and alignment tools
• Method and material selection for accurate, stable builds
• Improvements to existing parts, assemblies, or processes
• Repair of rare or obsolete parts in scientific or technical equipment
• Extending existing components to new or expanded functions
Focus: Precise components and instruments for demanding environments.

Technical R&D Support
• Breaking complex problems into clear parts and solving them step by step
• Concept development and feasibility checks for unconventional challenges
• Prototype planning, refinement, and early validation
• Material behavior analysis and adjustments for real world constraints
• Diagnosing design or fabrication bottlenecks and outlining solutions
• Developing and adapting tools or instruments that don’t exist on the market yet
Focus: Practical clarity and realistic ways to move an idea forward.

WHO I WORK WITH & HOW TO START
I work with
• Teams developing experimental hardware or scientific instruments
• Early-stage companies building new physical products or concepts
• Researchers and individuals dealing with unusual or unclear technical challenges
I support
• Problems that don’t fit standard development or fabrication paths
• Ideas that need method, feasibility, or practical direction
• Designs requiring special processes or complex material interactions
