Top School

Jamie Boyd is a mechatronics-focused firmware developer and UBC neuroscience Ph.D. with nine years of hands-on experience building experimental control, data acquisition, and analysis systems for advanced imaging and electrophysiology. Combining BCIT mechatronics training with deep domain expertise in 2-photon microscopy and optogenetics, Jamie programs microcontrollers (MSP430/432), Raspberry Pi, and custom C/Python modules, and designs analog and digital circuitry for bespoke lab instrumentation. He has a track record of turning complex experimental needs into reliable, user-facing tools, training researchers to operate and extend his systems. Comfortable across C/C++, Python, MATLAB, Igor Pro, and NI-DAQ integration, Jamie brings a rare blend of neuroscience insight and practical firmware/hardware skills suited to R&D device development. An attention to low-level debugging with oscilloscopes and logic analyzers complements his ability to automate cross-discipline workflows from bench to code.
