About
Multidisciplinary creative technologist and design engineer with over four years of commercial experience specialising in AI visualisation, rapid prototyping, wearable robotics, and virtual reality development. Awarded a dual master's degree with distinction in Innovation Design Engineering from Imperial College London and the Royal College of Art. Obtained a merit-based scholarship which funded the degree from the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. Winner of multiple international awards, holder of a filed patent in prosthetics, and published in a renowned academic journal.
Teneray was created to tackle a critical issue: 25% of users abandon their muscle-controlled, myoelectric prosthetic hands because they cannot sense their finger position. Without this feedback, daily tasks feel frustrating and exhausting. Existing solutions involve costly surgical implants or bulky electronics. Teneray is different: it offers a purely mechanical approach to restore sensation. When a finger flexes, cable tension rotates the pulley, causing a small wheel to roll along the hairless, sensitive skin of the lower forearm. With zero electronics, Teneray eliminates hassle with wearing and charging heavy batteries, ensures no feedback latency or noise, and costs under £5 in materials per unit. By providing immediate, intuitive feedback, Teneray improves coordination in everyday tasks, reduces fatigue, and ultimately decreases prosthetic hand abandonment rates.
