About

I am an Electrical Engineer with hands on experience in PCB layout, hardware prototyping, component analysis, and DFM support. My background includes schematic review, BOM and lifecycle analysis, ECAD updates, and Python automation for engineering workflows. I have worked on both professional and personal hardware projects. I hold a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from UMass Lowell and am focused on continuing to grow in PCB and hardware design.

Experience

PCB Deisgner Self · Self-employed Sep 2025 – Present 6 mos Boston, MA, United States ● Converted client breadboard prototype into a custom PCBA, improving, organization, and system responsiveness
● Implemented parallel ultrasonic sensor handling to eliminate sequential blocking behavior and improve real-time
performance.
Components Engineer Goddard Technologies · Full-time Mar 2023 – Aug 2025 2 yrs 5 mos Beverly, MA, United States ● Performed BOM scrubbing and lifecycle analysis to identify obsolete, high-risk, and long-lead components, reducing
supply-chain risk.
● Identified and validated Form-Fit-Function component replacements through electrical analysis and in-circuit testing.
● Analyzed designs from system to component level to ensure functional integrity during component substitutions.
● Assisted with PCB design reviews and ECAD updates to improve manufacturability (DFM).
● Developed Python scripts to automate data processing and change workflows, improving task efficiency and accuracy.

Education

UMass Lowell Bachelors of Science, ELECRICAL ENGINEERING 2019 – 2022
Vermont Technical College Associates of engineering, Electrical Electronics Engineering 2016 – 2019

Other experience

RF Analyzer PCB Design Designed a personal RF analyzer PCB project involving schematic capture and PCB layout with a focus on RF design fundamentals. Key areas included grounding, power routing, impedance aware layout, and prototype oriented hardware design. This project strengthened my skills in mixed signal PCB design and RF related layout considerations.
DDR4 Memory Module PCB Design Designed a personal DDR4 memory module project involving schematic capture and multilayer PCB layout. Focus areas included high-speed routing, length matching, controlled impedance, power planning, and signal integrity considerations. This project strengthened my PCB design skills and experience working with complex digital layouts.
