Austin Bakker
Product Development, Electronics & Production
I bring a full-stack approach to hardware. From prototyping with 3D printers to rapid development with suppliers and scaling for mass production.
My Approach
From Prototype to Scale
I specialize in taking ideas from the drawing board to the factory floor.
- Rapid Prototyping
- Utilizing 3D printing farms and in-house tools to iterate quickly on physical designs and enclosures.
- Electronics Development
- Designing custom PCBs and integrating software for complex systems like large-scale LED lighting controls.
- Supply Chain & Validation
- Working directly with suppliers for rapid development and market validation before scaling.
- Mass Production
- Setting up production processes and networks to scale products effectively after validation.
Portfolio
Featured Projects
Final Installation
Custom LED Lighting System
Developed and scaled production for a custom LED lighting solution, producing over 2000 units. The system features custom software integration for precise dimming and communication between all 2000 lights, demonstrating full control over both hardware and software stacks.
Key Highlights
- Custom PCB Design & Firmware
- 2000+ Unit Production Run
- Integrated Dimming Control System
- Supply Chain Management
SIP Panel Construction
International project focus on SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) construction. Managing logistics and implementation for modern construction methods.
3D Printing Farm Setup
Established a 3D printing farm to enable rapid prototyping and small-batch production. This facility accelerates the development cycle, allowing for quick iteration and testing of physical parts.
Other Expertise
- Heatpump Advising & Maintenance
Service maintenance, installation, and technical advising for heatpump systems.
- International Operations
Experience managing projects and supply chains across borders.
