Hello,

I’m John Hoang Do,
Mechanical engineer. Roboticist. Creative Problem Solver.

👋 About Me

John Hoang Do is analytical, methodical, cross-disciplinary, detail-oriented, collaborative, resourceful, adaptable, growth-minded, systematic, execution-driven, user-focused, creative, communicative, agile, strategic-minded, and innovative.

I design mechanical systems, medical equipment, and robotic technologies through iterative prototyping and rigorous validation. My work spans mechanical design, electromechanical integration, test protocol development, and cross-functional coordination, bringing engineering concepts from initial requirements through manufacturing and deployment.

What sets me apart: My interdisciplinary background in theatrical production, graphic identity development, and operations analysis taught me how to communicate across stakeholders, optimize resources under constraints, and execute complex projects on tight timelines. Whether designing surgical instruments or scenic environments, I approach challenges with both analytical precision and a human-centered perspective. These experiences make me agile, allow me to nimbly switch between technical and non-technical contexts, and help me design solutions that work.

👨‍💻 My Approach to Work

My north star is informed by thinking about real people: the surgeon who uses a device, the patient who benefits, the technician who assembles a tool, the service engineer who maintains the equipment. These perspectives help me design solutions that not only meet specifications but also work for the humans who interact with them.

I approach engineering through systematic iteration: develop requirements, build prototypes, test rigorously, and refine based on data. I work methodically, drawing from industry standards while keeping manufacturability and user experience in focus. I optimize resources under constraints, improve processes continuously, and validate designs with precision.

Collaboration drives my best work. I coordinate across functional teams to bring complex engineering projects from concept through development. I value thorough documentation because it maintains institutional knowledge. I value data-driven decisions because they move discussions from opinion to evidence. I value understanding the complete system because that’s how solutions actually work.
