PCB Design Engineer | Altium Designer | KiCad | RF & Antenna Design
As a Top-rated Upwork freelancer and experienced Hardware Engineer, I thrive on designing and developing complete electronic systems that solve real-world engineering challenges. My work blends deep technical expertise in PCB design, RF engineering, and embedded systems with a strong focus on building production-ready, reliable, and scalable hardware products. Over the years, I’ve worked across the full hardware development cycle — from concept, schematic design, and PCB layout to firmware development, prototyping, RF optimization, and manufacturing support. I enjoy turning complex ideas into functional, manufacturable electronic systems that perform reliably in real environments. Here's a snapshot of the domains I've mastered: Hardware Specialties 💻🔌 ✅ Embedded Systems Development: Expert in designing embedded solutions using ESP32, STM32, PIC, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi (including CM4/CM5 platforms). I handle everything from low-level firmware (C/C++) to hardware integration, real-time control systems, and IoT-enabled devices. ✅ PCB Design & Hardware Engineering: Advanced experience in schematic design, multilayer PCB layout (2–16 layers), high-speed routing, power distribution, signal integrity, and EMI/EMC-aware design. I focus on turning circuits into robust, production-ready boards. ✅ RF & Microwave Engineering: Specialized in RF circuit design, antenna development, and electromagnetic simulation using CST, HFSS, ADS, and 4NEC2. My work includes LoRa, GPS, RFID, wireless communication systems, and RF optimization for real-world performance. ✅ Wireless & IoT Systems: Designing connected systems using Bluetooth, WiFi, LoRa, and custom RF protocols. I develop IoT devices for automation, monitoring, sensing, and smart control applications. ✅ Sensor & Embedded Integration: Experience with MEMS/IMU, GPS modules, RFID systems, displays, motor drivers, and industrial sensors for data acquisition and intelligent control systems.
