Maxwell McInnisBiomedical Engineer + Software Builder

Reverse engineering project where a broken sewing machine was disassembled, missing components were modeled, and a complete SolidWorks assembly was rebuilt to mechanically function.

A live BMR and TDEE app that is publicly available for free, successfully crowdfunded, and actively used while a paid version is in development.

Designed GripSense, a low-cost ergonomic mouse concept that prevents wrist and hand repetitive strain injuries using grip-force feedback and timed break reminders.

Python computer-vision project that detects Copper in-frame and predicts mood states from facial/body cues, then overlays live labels in the camera feed.

Designed a Kinder Egg toy concept that launches a toy soldier with parachute up to a 3-meter target while packing all parts inside the egg.

Finite element analysis project evaluating barbell loading on a bench rack, with boundary-condition-focused modeling and load-to-damage threshold prediction.

Capstone project focused on out-toeing correction using a wearable feedback device, combining hardware, signal processing, and real-time gait feedback.

A full-stack fraud detection system for an insurance provider that scores optical care providers 0–100 using four independent detection rules and automatically routes claims to approval, manual review, or hold.

A Python + Pygame recreation of the classic 1979 arcade game, built as part of the Boot.dev curriculum with full collision detection, asteroid splitting, and 60 FPS gameplay.

A production Django website built for a local Pickering convenience store, containerized with Docker and served through an Nginx reverse proxy.

A Python analysis of spatial resolution and Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) in medical imaging systems, evaluating how voxel size, filtering, and projection count affect image quality.

A Python implementation of SPECT (Single Photon Emission CT) image reconstruction, applying attenuation correction and filtered back projection to reconstruct emission slices from raw projection profiles.

An Arduino-powered autonomous vehicle that navigates mazes using three ultrasonic sensors, proportional wall-following control, and real-time obstacle avoidance — all on a resource-constrained microcontroller.

A browser-based Connect Four game built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — two-player local multiplayer with win detection, draw detection, and full keyboard support.

A Next.js + React + Tailwind portfolio with static project pages and structured content controls.

A Python-based qPCR automation platform aimed at covering workflow steps and reducing operational overhead in small labs.

Arduino joystick-driven LCD menu system for browsing food storage categories with filtered analog input and reliable menu controls.

Prepared and presented a biomedical engineering research project at a University of Guelph conference, covering methodology, results, and practical implications.

MATLAB analysis of force-plate data comparing shod and barefoot trials using GRF, center-of-pressure trends, loading rate estimation, and FFT frequency analysis.

VICON-based motion analysis of submaximal and maximal broad-jump trials, quantifying joint ROM, angular velocity, and knee adduction behavior at landing.

MATLAB-based EMG analysis of isometric and dynamic elbow contractions, comparing biceps and brachioradialis activation across load, angle, and movement phase.

Biomechanics analysis of A3 pulley loading in ring vs middle finger during crimp-grip tasks using VICON, force-plate data, and FDP EMG processing.
