About

I am a dedicated Electronics Engineer with over 5 years of experience specializing in mixed-signal hardware design, PCB routing, and embedded systems. I partner with clients to turn their initial concepts into manufacturable, error-free prototypes.

My core expertise includes:

Schematic capture and precise PCB layout using [Insert your software, e.g., KiCad / Altium / Eagle]

Microcontroller integration, specifically STM32 and AVR architectures

Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and thorough Design Rule Checking (DRC)

BOM optimization to ensure cost-effective production

Whether you need a complete hardware system designed from the ground up or a professional second pair of eyes to audit your existing schematics before you order boards, I deliver precise, reliable results. I pride myself on excellent communication and delivering files perfectly prepped for manufacturing.
