Mechatronics Portfolio
Building practical engineering systems that survive outside the lab.
I am Bryan Fossi, a mechatronics systems engineering student focused on turning technical requirements into usable products. My recent work spans embedded measurement devices, handheld HMI design, systems documentation, and cross-disciplinary team delivery.

Project Browser
A sharper way to browse the portfolio.
This browser turns the document set into a readable, living gallery. It takes cues from high-end WebGL showcases without becoming a gimmick: bold glyph motion, precise iconography, and a detail surface built for real reading.
Process Dossier
How the documents map into the portfolio story.
Each PDF contributes a different layer of evidence. Rather than uploading them as an unstructured archive, this portfolio uses them to show progression from requirement definition to concepting, interface design, system architecture, and final communication.
01 / Problem Framing
Topic Description
Establishes the client context, the force-verification need, the target users, and the operating range. In the portfolio, this becomes the opening challenge statement and constraints block.
02 / Concept Exploration
Overall Product Concept
Shows enclosure requirements, robustness concerns, rechargeability, data interfaces, and a morphological box. This supports a section about design trade-offs and early product architecture.
03 / Usability Layer
HMI Final
Defines glove-friendly interaction, high-contrast status visibility, logging behavior, and calibration workflow. This becomes a dedicated interface-thinking subsection within the case study.
04 / Technical Depth
Group Project Report
Provides the strongest systems view: six load cells, automatic detection, 24-bit ADC, STM32-class MCU, touch HMI, data export, and audit trail requirements. This anchors the engineering detail section.
05 / Market Narrative
Brochure + Manual
Recasts the project as a product with benefits, compatibility, runtime, safety, and portability. In the portfolio, this becomes the polished outcome and communication layer.
06 / Industry Grounding
Internship Report
Adds early practical exposure to automation products, manufacturing, quality, and engineering models. It strengthens the experience narrative and shows industrial context beyond coursework.
Experience
Technical work that sharpens delivery.
My work history combines engineering curiosity with practical support roles. That mix matters: it means I care about whether systems work for real users, under real constraints, with clear troubleshooting paths.
2023-2025
Software Development Assistant
Gridhound GmbH, Aachen
Supported software maintenance, configuration, updates, and troubleshooting across computers, servers, and network systems. Strengthened my ability to diagnose technical problems quickly and work across hardware-software boundaries.
2022-2023
IT Department Assistant
Weyra Automotive Solution GmbH, Kleve
Assisted employees and customers with software, hardware, and connectivity issues. Built disciplined habits around support, responsiveness, and technical clarity.
2020-2021
Junior Computer Maintenance Technician
Hall Computer Services, Kleve
Worked on maintenance tasks and support responsibilities in a small IT environment, gaining practical comfort with diagnosing systems and helping users directly.
2020
Engineering Internship
Scientechnic Group L.L.C, Dubai
Completed an 8-week internship with exposure to automation products and services, sheet metal manufacturing, and engineering model design. This report-backed experience gives the portfolio an earlier industrial anchor.
Education and direction.
Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics Systems Engineering at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, Kleve. My academic focus brings together automation, embedded systems, system dynamics, control, and software integration.
The portfolio is now framed around what I want employers and collaborators to see clearly: I can move from abstract requirements to interface behavior, technical structure, and practical delivery.
