Custom Elevated Dog Feeder
Designed and prototyped an ergonomic elevated feeder focused on posture, durability, and modular customization. Iterated through multiple versions to optimize print orientation and structural integrity.
Independent Innovation Lab
Adonis Labs is an independent innovation lab led by Rafael Adonis — focused on engineering software, designing physical products, and turning ideas into working systems.
Projects spanning software systems and physical products. Each one solves a real problem.
Designed and prototyped an ergonomic elevated feeder focused on posture, durability, and modular customization. Iterated through multiple versions to optimize print orientation and structural integrity.
Built a lightweight automation system integrating email parsing and structured data processing for operational efficiency. Handles rule-based routing with configurable triggers.
Focused on functional design, iterative prototyping, and material testing. Every part produced at Adonis Labs is engineered for real-world usage — not display cases. The goal is durable, well-tested products that solve actual problems.
Multi-material printing with PLA, PETG, ASA, and TPU. Tuned profiles for strength, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy.
Parametric modeling with proper tolerances for snap-fits, press-fits, and mechanical assemblies. Every dimension is intentional.
From concept to testable prototype in hours. Rapid iteration cycles to validate form, fit, and function before production.
Technical documentation, engineering decisions, and reflections on building systems that work. Writing as a tool for thinking.
Lessons from hundreds of print hours on how material choice, orientation, and tolerancing determine whether a part survives real-world use or fails on day one.
Read MoreSoftware isn't a collection of features. It's a system of dependencies, feedback loops, and failure modes. How thinking in systems changes the way you build.
Read MoreFrom software architecture to 3D printed products, I approach every problem as a systems engineer focused on performance, clarity, and real-world execution.
Adonis Labs is my independent laboratory — a space to design, prototype, test, and refine ideas until they work beyond theory.
“Designed by emotion. Executed by logic.”
Capabilities
Full-stack software design. APIs, data pipelines, and infrastructure that scales.
Functional product design, CAD, and FDM production with engineering-grade materials.
Concept to testable prototype in hours. Fast iteration to validate form and function.
Structured experimentation across materials, architectures, and emerging technologies.
Open to collaborations, technical conversations, and interesting problems. If you build things, let's talk.
