Summary
Nat Galin is an engineer-founder with 13 years of multidisciplinary experience building hardware-driven products from Antarctic research to commercial rotary vane systems. As founder of Galin Engine he designs pumps, compressors and a compact rotary vane engine focused on mechanical simplicity, fuel efficiency and software-controlled flow flexibility for precise metering and fluid handling. His background spans embedded firmware, signal processing, computer vision and data analytics, with earlier research roles at UCL, NOAA and NASA applying advanced radar and remote sensing techniques. Nat has a track record of taking projects from concept through prototyping, validation and documentation—he even patented a remote sensing device for logistics while at WiseTech Global. Based in Queenstown, New Zealand, he combines rigorous PhD-level scientific method with hands-on engineering and creative installations (e.g., interactive sculpture and IoT music devices). He brings a rare blend of academic research, productization skills and practical firmware-to-mechanical system integration.
