Current focus

Closing gaps in how we measure, control, and reason about real-world systems.

About

A bit more about me, my background, and what I’m passionate about.

Portrait of Mohammed Farah

I’m Mohammed, an electrical & computer engineering student who enjoys working close to the hardware: robots, sensors, and the software that ties everything together.

I’ve co-founded a startup working on a device to measure postpartum blood loss more accurately, and I’ve built robotics projects where I own both the technical implementation and the product thinking: what the system should actually do, and why it matters.

Right now, I’m focused on:

  • Designing HemoSave around real clinical gaps and workflows.
  • Building robots that feel purposeful, not just “demoable”.
  • Developing a kinematics library that makes robotics math less painful to use.

Projects

Ongoing work that mixes robotics, product design, and systems thinking.

HemoSave Device

About this project

Postpartum hemorrhage kills thousands of mothers every year, especially in low-resource settings. Existing approaches either rely on rough visual estimation, which can be wildly inaccurate, or on premium devices that are too expensive and slow to deploy at scale.

HemoSave is an ongoing project to close that gap: a device designed to measure blood loss quickly and affordably, targeting a correlation with premium devices while being feasible for hospitals that can't spend thousands per unit. Learn more at bainitech.com.

  • Co-founded the project and helped define the core product requirements.
  • Ran conversations with clinicians to understand workflow constraints and real failure modes.
  • Focused on making the system usable in noisy, resource-constrained environments.

Status: Active • Ongoing validation and iteration.

SantaBot

About this project

SantaBot in action SantaBot in action

SantaBot is a playful robotics project built around a simple idea: can we design a robot that feels delightful but still uses the same core systems we'd rely on for more serious work?

It combines motion, sensing, and behavior in a compact package — a way to practice robotics fundamentals while shipping something that actually makes people smile.

  • Implemented behaviors that react to the environment in real time.
  • Used this project as a sandbox to test control ideas and hardware integrations.

Status: Complete for now • Future upgrades possible.

Kinematics Library

About this project

A lot of robotics students run into the same wall: the math behind kinematics is already hard, and the libraries they use can feel opaque, under-documented, or too tied to specific hardware.

This kinematics library aims to close that gap — helping translate the math on paper into abstractions that are intuitive, modular, and ready to plug into real systems.

  • Focus on clarity of API and documentation, not just performance.
  • Designed to be modular so specific pieces can be reused.
  • Experimental space to encode my own understanding of robot motion in code.

Status: Active • Being expanded as I learn.
