I am a Hardware Engineer with 10+ years of experience in PCB Design, Microcontroller Programming, and Embedded Systems development. I specialize in building robust Hardware solutions using ESP32, STM32, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi platforms. From initial Schematic capture in Altium or KiCad to final production-ready devices, I deliver high-performance electronics that work in the field. Highlights: - 100% Client success score - 95% first-pass PCB success rate across 100+ boards - Reduced BOM cost by 10–20% per unit through component optimization - Designed and reviewed 100+ PCBs across IoT, industrial, and automotive sectors - Firmware optimized on battery-powered ESP32 devices πŸ“ Core Services: Professional PCB Design & Schematic Capture - High-quality PCB Design delivery using Altium and KiCad with 100+ commercial products launched globally. - Schematic development and PCB Design for high-density multilayer boards (up to 16+ layers, microvias, HDI). - Hardware Design focusing on DFM/DFA, achieving 98% First-Time-Right fabrication with zero board respins. - Expertise as a PCB Designer in Altium Designer, KiCad PCB, and EasyEDA with 10,000+ hours of hands-on layout experience. - PCB Design for PCB Audio, RF (up to 6+ GHz), and high-speed digital interfaces (DDR4/PCIe Gen4 length matching). - Professional PCB Design and Circuit Designer services for Electronics projects, cutting time-to-market by 30% via IPC-Class 3 compliance. Expert Microcontroller Programming & Firmware: - Expert Microcontroller Programming for diverse industrial and consumer platforms with 99.9% uptime in production. - Microcontroller Programming for ESP32, STM32, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi, covering 200+ deployed nodes. - Embedded Systems development using Embedded C and C language, optimizing memory footprint by up to 40%. - Custom Firmware and Embedded Software for Embedded Systems IoT applications with MISRA C compliance and AES-256 security. - Advanced Microcontroller Programming for ESP32 Firmware, STM32 HAL, and Arduino Programmer tasks with FreeRTOS multi-threading. - Embedded Systems and Microcontroller Programming for Robotics and Python-based logic, accelerating sensor polling rates by 3x. Strategic Leadership & IoT Solutions: - I lead ARTAXE Electronics, a hardware engineering team. As CEO and Electronics Engineer, I ensure every Embedded Systems project is scalable and commercially viable, managing $500K+ in R&D budgets. - IoT architecture for ESP32 and Raspberry Pi systems, supporting 10k+ active concurrent devices in the cloud. - Embedded Systems Engineer services for Embedded Systems with long-range connectivity (LoRaWAN/LTE-M up to 15km range). - Integration of Schematic designs with Antenna Design and PCB Firmware, improving signal integrity and wireless range by 25-30%. - Deployment of Embedded Systems for AgTech (PivotHawk) and industrial monitoring across 50,000+ hectares / 100+ industrial sites. Mechanical Design & Enclosure Development - Bridging the gap between an Electrical Engineer and a Mechanical Engineer, ensuring 0mm clearance errors via precise ECAD-MCAD co-design. - Mechanical Design using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and CAD tools with 0.05mm tolerance precision. - Enclosure Design and Industrial Design for IP-rated devices (up to IP67/IP68 water & dustproof standards). - Professional Mechanical Design Engineer and Enclosure Designer support, optimizing parts for injection molding to cut tooling costs by 20%. - Mechanical Designer services for custom Hardware housing, validated through 50+ rapid prototypes (3D-printed ASA/SLA).
