Phillip M.

Experienced Electrical Engineer | PCB Design, Embedded Systems

Looking to start your next project now? Ready to bring your hardware innovations to life? As a versatile Electrical Engineer and Software Developer with 10+ years in hardware design, embedded systems, and firmware programming, I deliver robust, scalable solutions from concept to production. Specializing in circuit design, PCB design, and electronic design for demanding applications like high-power electronics, high-voltage systems, and high-speed circuits, I help clients achieve reliable, efficient results using tools like KiCAD and methodologies like Agile software development. Hardware Design Expertise PCB Design & Layout: Expert in multi-layer PCB schematic capture, routing, and fabrication with KiCAD. From single-layer prototypes to complex 6+ layer boards, I optimize for performance in high-power PCBs (up to 200A), high-voltage systems (1kV+), and high-speed interfaces (USB 3, Ethernet, HDMI). Prototyping & Manufacturing: Full support for assembly, testing (including soldering, signal integrity, and compliance), and DFM/DFA to ensure seamless large-scale production with contract manufacturers. Specialized Applications: Custom solutions for Raspberry Pi-based prototypes, IoT devices, control systems, and energy efficiency in renewable energy projects. Software & Embedded Systems Proficiency Firmware & Embedded Programming: Advanced skills in C++, Embedded C, and C for real-time systems on platforms like Raspberry Pi, Atmel AVR, Silicon Labs EFM32, Cypress PSoC, Microchip PIC, and STM32. Embedded Application Development: Building custom embedded systems with drivers, RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS), protocols (I2C, SPI, CAN, UART), and Agile practices for iterative delivery. Cross-Platform Tools: Using Flutter and Dart for responsive UIs in IoT dashboards, mobile application development, and unified cross-platform apps—expanding to desktop solutions for seamless experiences. Passionate about tackling challenges in circuit board design, IoT, mobile app development, and control systems, I collaborate effectively in teams or independently to meet your deadlines. Need rapid prototyping, custom Flutter interfaces, or end-to-end electronic design? Let's engineer success—contact me to discuss your project! I am available now for work.
