Engineering a life with Parkinson's.
I'm Wiremu (Willy) Raumati. Mechanical engineer, technology founder, father, and Parkinson's awareness advocate. This is the record from here forward: the good, the bad, the ugly, the humour, the systems and the work of still building.
What this is
A personal brand, a public record, and a practical engineering mindset applied to Parkinson's.
My background is grounded in mechanical systems, workshop operations, maintenance, commercial pressure and solving problems when theory meets the floor. Over time, that practical base has expanded into software, automation and technology ventures.
In 2024 I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. I am sharing the journey publicly to build awareness, create a record for my kids, and show that the diagnosis changed the operating conditions, not the engineer.
Parkinson's awareness
The diagnosis changed the operating conditions. It did not remove the engineer.
Parkinson's can affect movement, energy, communication, confidence, independence and the simple routines most people never have to think about. Some days are productive. Some days are slow. Most days require planning, patience and humour.
I am not sharing this for sympathy. I am sharing it because visibility matters, and because people with Parkinson's are still capable of ideas, leadership, work, community, ambition and contribution.
Current focus
Engineering, automation, awareness and future impact work.
02
Parkinson's journey
The good, the bad, the ugly and the useful: documenting what changes, what helps, what hurts and what keeps life moving.
03
Community and impact
A future path for speaking, sponsors, merchandise, charity work and collaborations that turn awareness into something practical.
Legacy
This is also a record for my kids.
I want this to become more than a polished profile. It should be a living record of the work, the setbacks, the wins, the hard days, the funny moments and the people who helped along the way.
If it also helps someone with Parkinson's feel seen, helps a family understand the condition better, or opens the door to useful collaboration, then it is doing its job.
First story
Why I am sharing my Parkinson's diagnosis publicly.
The first blog post should set the tone: honest, practical, not polished into something fake.
