Portrait of Shaun Paul

Hi, I'm Shaun!

I'm a Mechatronics and Biomedical Engineer specializing in industrial automation, machine vision, and hardware systems. I have deep experience with control systems like Allen-Bradley and Mitsubishi, and I'm highly focused on building the bridge between modern high-speed manufacturing and AI.

Currently, I'm developing Talon, a wearable 3D spatial control glove. I am a hard worker who dedicates all my effort in getting projects done, end to end with proper documentation, safety and training.

In my free time I enjoy going to the gym, volleyball and playing guitar and volunteering to mentor and teach people.

Select Projects

AI-Driven Vision Inspection & Quality Architecture
Honda Vision Project

Engineered and deployed an end-to-end automated vision inspection system using Keyence VS AI cameras to monitor critical engine head surfaces on a high-speed production line. Integrated the camera directly into the existing Allen-Bradley/Mitsubishi PLC step sequence for real-time process monitoring. Developed the complete automated reject loop, configuring the safety interlocks and programming the Fanuc/Motoman robotics to instantly remove and isolate flawed units. Built a custom HMI for line operators to monitor camera feeds and mapped the inspection data and images to a central database for traceability.

Impact: Reduced critical defect escape rates to near zero, catching surface anomalies within a 3-4 unit window. This prevented an estimated 10,000+ potential engine recalls, saving millions in rework and warranty liabilities while maintaining line throughput.

End-to-End HVAC Product Lifecycle & Production Line
Unilux HVAC Project

Led the complete lifecycle design of a new horizontal fan coil unit, balancing product specifications, process requirements, and layout complexity. Executed all mechanical design, including heat coil and blower specification, prototyping, and generating CNC code for manufacturing. On the electrical side, designed the custom PCB architecture to interface with the core control systems. Beyond the product itself, engineered the manufacturing floor plan and assembly line layout, establishing SOPs, material flow, and tooling requirements to take the unit from prototype to full-scale certified production.

Talon: Spatial 3D Control Wearable
Talon Project Prototype

Architected a custom 3D control interface designed to bridge the gap between human kinematics and digital 3D space. Developed a wearable glove that utilizes an array of flex sensors, accelerometers, and potentiometers to track precise finger angles, arm rotation, and acceleration. Engineered the sensor fusion logic to translate physical movement into fluid, 3-dimensional inputs for CAD modeling, simulation environments, and gaming. This system dramatically improves precision and reduces the friction of interacting with complex 3D models compared to traditional 2D peripherals.
