[ The Ventilator Project ]



TVP / 1001
Final Assembly of Prototype 8

The Ventilator Project is a non-profit in Boston building low-cost ventilators capable of supporting patients for extended periods of time. Able to handle all but the most complicated cases, TVP’s Aira is an affordable workhorse that frees up a hospital's more complex machines for those who need it most. It’s a scalable design, using creatively selected components, designed to steer clear of stressed medical supply lines. I was invited to join TVP back in its infancy, when the pandemic was first ramping up.

As the first engineer on the team, I had the privilege of watching the organization expand from 5 to over 200 people working both on-site and remote. As the company grew, I became the engineering team-lead, managing over 20 people both on-site and remote, developing new architectures, and establishing critical partnerships with companies like MedAcuity.

Aira was one of the few ventilators awarded FDA authorization for continuous, invasive ventilation in hospital settings. Our work recently won the Autodesk Excellence Award in Product Design & Manufacturing. We were also showcased in the Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt Museum of Design.
