Daniels Janis J.

I am a detail-oriented professional, driven by a passion for excellence and dedicated to solving complex engineering problems — to transform your ideas into distinct realities. From PCB design, Embedded Software & Hardware Development and Debugging, to Prototyping and FPGA programming, think of me as Swiss Army knife for all your Electronics Engineering needs. With a solid foundation in Electronics from my Master of Engineering degree and a rapid research and development (R&D) background from my work at an up-and-coming academic institution, I am more than just an engineer; I'm a problem solver who thrives on tackling challenges. My capabilities include: ✅Schematic & PCB Design Expertise: Utilizing Altium Designer, I design complex printed circuit boards (PCB) with high-speed differential signal routing and impedance-matching in mind, suitable for designs using USB, Ethernet, and other high-speed interfaces. Additionally, I offer realistic 3D PCB modeling, enabling precise visualization of the final product for enhanced design validation and design for inclusion in an assembly. ✅Embedded Systems Engineering: My expertise in embedded systems ranges from programming microcontrollers, such as Atmega and MSP430, to navigating the complexities of Intel and AMD/Xilinx Multi-Processor System-on-a-Chip (MP SoC) devices. I am capable of designing and deploying machine learning (ML) and computer vision (CV) algorithms into edge computing solutions. By effectively integrating software solutions and hardware design, using hardware-description languages (HDL) or high-level synthesis (HLS) tools, I can leverage various processing paradigms to enhance embedded system performance and power consumption. ✅Comprehensive Programming Skills: Proficient in Embedded C, VHDL, Python, and Matlab — I can transform your requirements into functional solutions. ✅Unique Research Insights: My research and development background is in digital signal processing, machine learning, and image processing. While working at the Institute of Electronics and Computer Science (EDI), I have been part of teams that have achieved recognition for our contributions to the field along with multiple publications. This experience has equipped me with the vision to explore and innovate in uncharted territories. ✅Technical Documentation Expertise: I offer proofreading services for technical documents, manuals, publications, and articles. My background in electronics engineering and research not only enables me to identify and correct errors but also to ensure that complex technical content is communicated clearly and effectively. ✅Electronics Repair & Prototype Assembly: Beyond design and development, in my free time I’ve extended my formal expertise with component-level repair and maintenance of electronics. This includes diagnostic troubleshooting and component-level repairs using SMD rework and microsoldering. This complements my ability to assemble and repair prototype devices. ✅A Commitment to Quality and Detail: My work is characterized by a passionate attention to detail and a high sense of responsibility. I am ready to take your tough projects and turn them into success stories. From Idea to Implementation: My expertise spans from designing compact, high-performance PCBs and utilizing FPGAs for parallel real-time processing, to developing prototypes that incorporate the latest advancements in computer vision. My portfolio illustrates the breadth and depth of my capabilities, including reverse engineering and prototyping of a CD Changer emulator for VW radios, designing the advanced Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC Carrier Board to provide a drone with advanced visual processing capabilities, and pioneering neural network implementations on heterogeneous SoC platforms.
