PCB Designer | Hardware Design Engineer | Embedded System Expert

Got a hardware idea that’s stuck on paper? A prototype that keeps resetting, overheating or picking up noise? A board that failed its first spin and you don’t know why? That’s the kind of problem I solve. I’ve worked in R&D teams at globally leading companies, so I know what it takes to get a design right before it reaches the fabricator, not after you’ve paid for a bad batch. And if I have grabbed your attention, I’m a Hardware (Electronics/Power Electronics) Design Engineer with six years of experience taking products from rough concept to manufacturing ready PCB. 🔷 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 ✔ A design built around your requirements, budget and constraints. ✔ Production ready files along with documentation your manufacturer can actually use ✔ One engineer who owns the work from first call to final handoff 🔷 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗜 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 💥 “I have an idea but don’t know the right architecture, MCU or components” 💥 “My prototype works on the bench but fails in the real world” 💥 “My board has noise, heating or stability issues” 💥 “I need an existing design reviewed, fixed or cost optimized” 💥 “I need a design that is easy to manufacture and source” 🔷 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 Custom PCBs, embedded hardware, microcontroller and SoC based products, power converters, control circuits, sensor integration, high speed communication interfaces and more. 🔷 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 I work fully remotely and I don’t run a physical test lab. So I make validation easy for you instead. I write a clear test plan, tell you exactly what to measure and what a good result looks like, review your scope captures, logs and photos, and debug with you step by step until the issue is solved. You can test with your own equipment or a local lab gaining more confidence in your product, and I guide you through every stage. 🔷 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 Free discussion about your idea and goals Requirements and concept finalized Simulation and schematic design (if needed) PCB layout and design review Fabrication and assembly support Remote validation guidance and fixes I’m honest about what’s possible, I communicate clearly, and I respect deadlines. If something is risky or won’t work, you’ll hear it from me early, not after the money is spent. Send me a short message about what you’re building. I’ll reply with honest feedback and a rough plan. The first conversation is free, and I genuinely enjoy these discussions. 🔷 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 ✔ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Turning a rough idea into a clear technical plan with defined specs ✔ 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: Analog, digital, mixed signal and embedded hardware ✔ 𝗣𝗖𝗕 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁: Multilayer boards, high speed and EMI/EMC aware design ✔ 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Verify the design before building it, so fewer surprises later ✔ 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: A fresh set of expert eyes on your failing prototype ✔ 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: Liaising with manufacturer so the boards come out right Let’s build something that works.
