Tom Mikolyuk standing up, ankle-deep in ocean-water, in nighttimne lighting and against a dark background. He is wearing rolled-up blue jeans, e, one leg up on the bench, holding a vegan hotdog wrapped in aluminum foil with a skewer in one hand and warming it up with a gas lighter held in the other hand.

I’m a Seattle-based mechanical engineer who translates novel technologies into products that make a safer and healthier world. Currently, I work on automated integrated circuit testing equipment and gastrointestinal surgical devices.

In the real world, I explore and level up in various creative and active skill trees. This year, I've been designing clothing and learning tennis; last year, I learned wheelthrowing and designed a bunch of stickers; in 2024, I ran my first half-marathon race and overcame ARFID to become a foodie.

I'm broadly interested in public health and art/design education, and always looking for volunteer opportunities. Reach me at tom(at)mikoly.uk or on LinkedIn.
