Embedded & Robotics Engineer | PCB, KiCAD, STM32, ESP32, ROS

From schematic to shipped product — I design the electronics, the mechanics, and the firmware as one coherent system. I'm a multidisciplinary Embedded Systems & Robotics Engineer helping startups and product teams turn ideas into working prototypes and manufacturing-ready hardware. Because I cover electronics, mechanical design, and firmware under one roof, you get a single point of accountability from concept to production. 🔧 Electronics & PCB Design • Schematic capture and multilayer PCB layout in KiCAD and Altium Designer • Component selection, BOM optimization, and DFM/DFA review • Full manufacturing handoff via JLCPCB / JLC: Gerbers, BOM, CPL files, assembly support • Power management, analog/digital circuits, motor drivers, and sensor interfaces ⚙️ Mechanical & Optical Design • Enclosures, brackets, and mechatronic assemblies in AutoCAD • LiDAR and optical system integration for robotics and sensing products • Design for prototyping (3D printing, CNC) and scale-up to production 💻 Embedded Firmware (C / C++) • STM32, ESP32, and PIC microcontroller development • Bare-metal and RTOS-based firmware with low-power optimization • Drivers for sensors, LiDAR, motors, and displays; Wi-Fi / BLE IoT connectivity 🤖 Robotics & ROS • ROS node development, custom drivers, and full system integration • LiDAR data handling and perception pipelines • Complete robot bring-up: hardware + firmware + ROS stack working together ✅ What you get working with me • Manufacturing-ready deliverables: Gerbers, BOM, drawings, source code, and documentation • One engineer covering EE + ME + FW — no gaps between disciplines • Clear communication with regular progress updates and prototype demos Whether you need a single PCB respin, a firmware module, or a complete robot built from scratch, I can deliver it end to end.
