Hi there
I'm Nahashon Osinde, a mechatronic engineer, an AI engineer and a full-stack web developer with a PhD in Automation, computer vision and robotics from Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté. I have a passion for AI engineering, automation, control systems, robotics, electronics, embedded systems and technological advances in the continuously growing engineering industry.
Currently working as a Research and Development Mechatronic Engineer at Inside Therapeutics in France, where I program PLCs and HMIs for nanoparticle synthesis devices following pharmaceutical GMP standards. I develop RAG systems and agentic AI architectures for industrial applications. I also wear a hat as a full-stack web developer designing architectures that span frontend to backend for automation monitoring, control and AI powered analytics.
In addition to my engineering work, I am interested in philosophy, particularly Stoicism, and its practical applications to modern life and problem-solving.
Below are details of my portfolio, education, research publications, and professional certifications accumulated over my career in mechatronics and automation.
Portfolio
Education
Academic Degrees
PhD in Automation (Computer Vision and Robotics)
2020 - 2024
Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté, Besançon, France
A three and a half year journey dedicated to investigating several techniques to be used in enhancing the data acquisition rate as well as the quality of volumetric data obtained using the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) device. My thesis and a journal article published in the Journal of Microscopy can be found in the PhD project above.
Master in Control for Green Mechatronics
2019 - 2020
Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté, Besançon, France
The course enables one to master the area of green mechatronics where they are able to design new or re-design existing mechatronic systems, to model and simulate them, to calculate controllers for their automation and their performances improvement, and to setup networks of mechatronic systems, all together with consideration of energy efficiency. An article published in Mechatronics journal from Elsevier as a result of my internship work can be found in the Masters internship project above.
Master of Science in Advanced Manufacturing and Automation Engineering
2018 - 2020
Dedan Kimathi University of Technology, Nyeri, Kenya
The course equips one with skills in integrating highly diverse technologies and disciplines, such as robotics, advanced manufacturing, automation, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), manufacturing systems and control engineering. An article published as a result of a coursework project can be found in the Masters coursework project above.
Bachelor of Science in Mechatronic Engineering
2013 - 2017
Dedan Kimathi University of Technology, Nyeri, Kenya
The course is designed to equip one with skills in the integration of precision mechanical, electronic, control and systems engineering in the design of products and manufacturing processes.
Certificates & Licenses
KiCad Like a Pro
Sep 2019 - Dec 2019
Dr Peter Dalmaris, Udemy
A course that teaches how to design custom printed circuit boards (PCBs) using KiCad. See some of my custom designed PCBs in the portfolio section.
Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certification, Professional
Feb 2019 - Aug 2019
Siemens Technik Akademie, Berlin, Germany
The course equips the individual to apply selected project and system engineering practices, such as requirements engineering, project management, process management, quality assurance and management in a project, with the goal to design or improve a mechatronic system upon customer and user needs. An article published in Designs journal from MDPI as a result of my certification project can be found in the Digital twin project above.
Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certification, Associate
Feb 2018 - April 2018
Siemens Technik Akademie, Berlin, Germany
The course entails understanding and analyzing mechatronic systems, modules and components. Coursework includes programming of mechatronic modules (PLCs), applying knowledge of process control technology, motor control, incorporating safety standards and manufacturing processes.
Siemens Mechatronic Systems Certification, Assistant
Nov 2017 - Jan 2018
Siemens Technik Akademie, Berlin, Germany
The course equips the individual to function as a well-grounded machine operator in a complex mechatronic system with responsibility for efficient operation of the equipment with minimal downtimes. Course content includes electrical drives, pneumatic and hydraulic control circuits.
Interests
Philosophy & Stoicism
Beyond engineering, I find meaning and guidance in Stoic philosophy. The ancient practice offers timeless wisdom for modern challenges, teaching us to focus on what we can control and accept what we cannot.
Amor Fati
Love your fate. Accept and embrace everything that happens as necessary.
Memento Mori
Remember that you will die. Let mortality guide you to live meaningfully.
Cardinal Virtues
Justice, Temperance, Wisdom, Courage - the foundation of good character.
These principles inform both my personal life and professional approach to problem-solving in engineering.
