About
I design electronic products, combining PCB design, embedded hardware and enclosure development. Main focus is helping to design products that are ready for manufacturing and real usage.
I am student of Faculty of Electrical Engineering, where I learned and worked with software for designing and simulating semiconductor components, such as diodes, MOSFETs etc, as well as PCB design, embedded programming and embedded hardware development. Also, I have experience in jobs in the profession as I worked as R&D engineer, where my main focus was embedded programming and hardware development and as test engineer, where my main focus was to test electronic devices on various tests that aligns with test that are done in certification houses to check if devices would pass those certification house test and internal standards, such as EMI, resistance to electrical disturbances and many more.
My portfolio includes:
-various development boards (with STM32 and ESP32 microcontrollers);
-USB 2.0 Hub with 4 outbound USBs, with full enclosure design;
-Clock project with RP2040 microcontroller, light sensor, addresable LEDs, with full enclosure design;
-ESP32 IoT project - includes relay, LED driver, humidity and temperature sensor, GPIO pins for additional peripherals;
-Buck Converter - 9-36V input to 5V output with main focus on automotive compatible components.
Skills I gained over the years while studying and working on jobs in the profession are:
-PCB (Schematic, Layout) Design;
-Embedded Hardware Design;
-Microcontroller-Based Systems (STM32, ESP32, RP2040);
-Power Supply Design;
-Enclosure Design;
-Prototype Development;
-DFM;
-Product Integration;
-Hardware Debugging.
Software I am skilled in:
-Altium Designer;
-KiCad;
-EasyEDA;
-Solid Edge;
-LTSpice.

Portfolio
Experience
- Test Engineer TPP Zumtobel - Tridonic · Full-time Feb 2024 – Present 2 yrs 1 mos Niš, Serbia My main goal is to test third-party products that we want to rebrand under our name to check if they are passing our internal standards as well to see if they would pass certification house tests.
- R&D Engineer DMV · Full-time Dec 2024 – Feb 2026 1 yrs 2 mos Serbia I was part of R&D team. Main job was to develop embedded systems, work with 8051 architecture microcontrollers and STM32 ARM microcontrollers, implement new sensors and peripherals, create firmware for devices, fix hardware and software problems in production, work with PCB team, help them with developing new boards.
Education
- Faculty of Electrical Engineering Bachelors, Microelectronic Circuits and Systems, 8.5/10 2019 – 2026 Activities and Societies: Was part of year to year IEEESTEC student conferences in 2022. and 2023. year. I was part of Telekoms IoT Internship program where my team and I developed smart lighting system, where we designed hardware system and implemented it with Telekoms IoT server. On their server, we created dashboard with information of light sensor reading, option to dim or to turn on/off light. As I was studying on course of microelectronics, on faculty I had oportunity to learn about semiconductors, how they work on atom level, how to design them using software. Also we had a lot of projects where we created various circuits, pure analog, as well as embedded systems using various microcontrollers and peripherals. Also we were learning basics of PCB and enclosure design.
Other experience
- Telekom's Internship IoT program I was part of Telekom's Internship IoT program where my team and I created smart lighting system using Telekom's server for creating dashboard where data from light sensor, PIR sensor detection notification, on/off control.
- IEEESTEC student conference 2023. I was part of 2023. years IEEESTEC student conference with project of DC motor control with display based around STM32 ARM microcontroller.
- IEEESTEC student conference 2022. I was part of IEEESTEC student conference with project practical implementation of decade Johnson counter.
