      Hi the Kenno,

      I dont design products, I provide a service.

      We actually try to make the stuff I design as small as possible! The smaller the lasers are, the easier it is to fit them inside in other optical components. The biggest set of laser I’ve made were on a disk that was 2 inches in diameter and held about 19000 lasers!

      Hi Kenno,

      A hydraulic fracturing plant in my final year of college. It was designed to process enough gas to fuel half of Ireland! If built, it would cover 3 acres of land.

      The biggest thing I’ve designed and actually made was a heat exchanger. It was about 2 metres long.
