About
With over 15 years of experience in electronics hardware design, I specialize in creating mission-critical PCBs for complex applications. My expertise is not just in layout, but in the crucial areas of SI and PI Simulation, EMI/EMC ensuring a robust and reliable design from the very first prototype.
I have a proven track record of successfully designing and bringing to market high-speed boards form industries such as semiconductor, consumer electronics, telecommunication, medical, automotive, Industrial automation and R&D. My focus is on delivering first-pass success by meticulously addressing issues like crosstalk, impedance matching, and EMI EMC from the earliest stages of the design cycle.
My Core Expertise Includes:
High-Speed PCB Design: Proficient in designing boards for high-data-rate interfaces like DDR4/5, PCIe, Ethernet, and USB.
Signal & Power Integrity: Advanced pre- and post-layout SI/PI analysis to optimize stack-up, mitigate noise, and ensure stable power delivery.
Post-Silicon Validation: I can support your team by designing validation boards and resolving hardware issues during testing.
Power Electronics: Expertise in routing high-current traces, thermal management, and designing robust power delivery networks.
I am proficient in professional-grade tools including:
PCB Layout: Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, KiCad
Simulation: Hyperlynx
I am committed to providing clear communication and a professional, results-oriented approach to every project. Let's discuss how my expertise can accelerate your product's time-to-market and ensure its long-term reliability.

Project Title: High-Speed Laptop Reference board design and Post silicon validation board design
The Challenge: The client needed a compact, multi-layer PCB for a network switch with high-speed 10Gbps Ethernet interfaces. The key challenges were to maintain signal integrity, control impedance, and manage heat dissipation in a small form factor.
My Role: I was responsible for the complete PCB design, from schematic capture to final Gerber file generation. I chose an optimized 10-layer stack-up with dedicated ground planes and used meticulous length matching for all differential pairs.
Key Solutions:
Impedance Control: Performed pre-layout simulations to determine precise trace widths and spacing for 50-ohm single-ended and 100-ohm differential impedances.
Thermal Management: Implemented thermal vias under key components and designed a robust PDN to handle high current loads without excessive heat.
SI Analysis: Conducted post-layout SI analysis using hyperlynx to verify signal integrity and eye diagram openings.
The Result: The design passed SI validation and was fully functional on the first prototype run, saving the client significant time and budget on costly re-spins.
