Independent Innovation Lab
Building digital systems and physical products that perform in the real world.
Adonis Labs is an independent innovation lab led by Rafael Adonis — focused on engineering software, designing physical products, and turning ideas into working systems.
Selected work.
Projects spanning software systems and physical products. Each one solves a real problem.
Email-to-Structured-Data Automation
Built a lightweight automation system integrating email parsing and structured data processing for operational efficiency. Handles rule-based routing with configurable triggers.
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.
Engineering Functional Products
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.
FDM Manufacturing
Multi-material printing with PLA, PETG, ASA, and TPU. Tuned profiles for strength, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy.
Precision CAD
Parametric modeling with proper tolerances for snap-fits, press-fits, and mechanical assemblies. Every dimension is intentional.
Functional Prototyping
From concept to testable prototype in hours. Rapid iteration cycles to validate form, fit, and function before production.
Notes from the Lab
Technical documentation, engineering decisions, and reflections on building systems that work. Writing as a tool for thinking.
Why Systems Thinking Matters in Software Architecture
Software 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 MoreDesigning Reliable 3D Printed Parts
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 MoreI build systems — digital and physical.
From 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.”
