At some time in the far-flung future, nanotech will become available. You could write your character as being one of the first fen to work on it. (It'll also spur Noah into opening that particular part of the Catalog.) But nothing too soon. At the very soonest, we's say sometime like in the 2020's, maybe later. And even then this is only basic, handwavium assisted nanotech. You'll basically start out growing stuff in vats. And there will be quirks.
As years pass, your character can refine things, either to use less handwavium or to improve the end product. Either/Or. Can't have both, unless you draw the curve out longer.
Otherwise... Well... just work on the origin.
