Hello!

I'm Kacper Los

An engineer, inventor ,designer, and a leader

About Me

Due to my deep curiosity about the world and constant exploration of its vast possibilities, my lifelong goal is to learn as much as possible from diverse fields of science and from the brilliant minds I encounter along the way. Gaining new perspectives allows me to approach problems from multiple angles, fostering a deeper understanding of diverse viewpoints and enhancing my ability to collaborate and lead in multicultural environments.

I believe life becomes infinitely more interesting when you have something to look forward to and dream about. This dream fuels my resilience and determination to overcome life’s challenges, turning obstacles into opportunities.

I am passionate about developing new ideas, designing, and building new things.
With a degree in mechatronics from Wroclaw University of Technology, I have further refined skills honed through self-learning across various fields such as high-tech, mechanical and electronics engineering, architecture, computer simulations, and construction.
My early hands-on experiences and natural curiosity have enabled me to develop a strong foundation and a versatile skill set, allowing me to tackle complex engineering challenges and innovate effectively.

My experiences in multinational environments, including volunteering in Iceland and participating in the Work&Travel program in the US, have further enriched my perspective and leadership abilities.

With my engineering mindset, combined with my ability to work and lead in diverse environments, I am dedicated to overcoming challenges and developing solutions that benefit the many, not just the few.
I am eager to collaborate on projects that make a meaningful impact through innovative ideas.

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”

My Projects

My Skills

During my academic studies, I focus especially on gaining interdisciplinary knowledge and skills. In choosing which project to work on next, I always think about the skills I will acquire while working on it. Below is an overview of the skills I’ve developed through my independent work.

With expertise in CFD simulation using Ansys Fluent, I focus on optimizing aerodynamic and hydrodynamic designs through advanced Adjoint solver methods.

I primarily work with SOLIDWORKS on large assemblies and animations, but also have experience with CATIA, Inventor, and Siemens NX which I use for FEA simulation.
Additionally, I create professional renders in SOLIDWORKS Visualize and use Fusion 360 for integrating mechanical and electronics designs.

With 3D printing technology, I’m able to rapidly design and prototype innovative, complex parts that are both strong and cost-effective.  I know how to set proper parameters for printing with different materials such as PLA, PETG, ABS, how to design parts considering 3d printing properties and limitations.
In my work I often use SLA printers in addition to more common FDM method.

I can draw and read electronic circuits, design PCBs and test them using Fusion 360 (former Eagle) software. I know how to implement these circuits into mechanical sections so that they can form functional projects. During developing my projects I have learned how to test and diagnose circuits before powering them, using advanced multimeters, oscillators etc.

I know how to program and implement microcontrollers and microcomputers, including ESP32, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi, and integrate them into electronic circuits for various applications.

I know how to solder electronic circuits on single and multi-layer prototyping boards and PCBs using multipurpose soldering stations with heat gun and microscope. I know when to choose THT electronic components and SMD parts and how to properly attach them to PCBs or electronic boards.

I know how to draw and design electrical schematics, how to choose proper electrical components such as cables (types, gauges), fuses (i.e. RCCB), switchgears. I know how to calculate power consumptions, capacitance, short-circuit currents, and how to read electrical characteristics (i.e. I^2 and response charact. of fuses). I am experienced in designing and assembling more advanced switchgears in high-power, high-voltage applications.

I am skilled in welding with MMA and MIG/MAG techniques and experienced in designing and building metal structures.

I have experience using various power tools for construction and carpentry, and am skilled in both designing blueprints in AutoCAD and physically building structures such as wooden houses.

I built my own workshop equipped with woodworking tools like a table saw, miter saw, circular saw, and router, enabling me to design and construct various projects from start to finish.

My Passions

Due to my deep curiosity about the world and constant exploration of its vast possibilities, my lifelong goal is to learn as much as possible from the diverse experiences life has to offer. I have a profound passion for outdoor sports and adventure. I love traveling and through-hiking, which involves long-distance treks with all necessary gear and sleeping systems carried in my backpack.

Since discovering rock climbing, I’ve become deeply immersed in both sport climbing and mountaineering, having explored all the major mountain ranges in Poland and many across Europe and North America.
I am also dedicated to street workout so much so that I built an entire park with bars and a jungle gym in my garden to fuel my passion.

In addition to climbing, I enjoy running and cycling, often embarking on annual cycling tours across Poland and Europe with just a tent, food, and camping gear. These adventures have taken me to remarkable places, including the USA, Iceland, Scandinavia, and throughout Europe, each trip expanding my horizons and deepening my appreciation for the world.
