Matt Mckenzie is a mobility and seating clinician and trade-qualified biomedical engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience spanning fitter-and-turner trades, wheelchair technician roles, and medical device test engineering. He combines deep fabrication skills—welding, lathe and milling—with rehab-focused engineering, having moved from mobile repairs and bespoke seating manufacture to test engineering at Permobil and clinical practice at NovitaTech. His background includes a successful rehabilitation robotics internship where he developed near real-time mechanical feedback for a VR wheelchair ergometer, showing an ability to translate user needs into functional assistive systems. Comfortable in both workshop and clinical settings, Matt excels at bridging prototyping, testing and client-facing fitting to improve mobility outcomes. Based in Australia and holding a biomedical engineering degree with strong mechanical trade roots, he is driven by a practical passion for improving quality of life for people with mobility impairments. An uncommon strength is his blend of formal engineering education with extensive field experience in on-site repairs and bespoke device fabrication.
