About
I'm a power electronics and PCB design engineer with over 20 years of R&D experience, specializing in the areas most PCB designers avoid: high-voltage systems, switch-mode power supplies, precision analog front-ends, isolation design, and embedded control.
My background includes 18 years at a high-voltage pulse-power research institute, where I designed and built high-voltage and high-frequency power systems up to multi-kW — PWM and resonant converters, analog and digital control, and precision measurement electronics. I hold a Specialist Diploma in Electrical Engineering (High-Voltage Technology and Electrophysics), assessed as a Master's-equivalent.
What I deliver:
- Complete PCB design packages — schematic, layout, BOM, Gerbers, pick-and-place, 3D/STEP — ready for fabrication and assembly (JLCPCB and others).
- Power electronics: SMPS, DC-DC converters, high-current power distribution, heavy-copper boards, thermal management.
- Precision analog and mixed-signal: low-noise front-ends, isolated current/voltage sensing, careful grounding and signal integrity.
- High-voltage and isolation: creepage/clearance, isolated topologies, safety-rated design.
- Embedded control: microcontroller-based designs (STM32, Atmel/AVR, TI C2000, ESP32) for motor control, digital power, and measurement.
Tools & platforms: KiCad (primary), PCAD/Altium-class workflows, Fusion 360 for 3D, LTspice for simulation, ANSYS. Microcontrollers: STM32, Atmel/AVR, TI C2000 (motor control and digital power), ESP32.
I work in a clean, disciplined style — verified footprints, real sourceable components (no placeholders), DFM-checked manufacturing files, and clear documentation. I communicate primarily in writing, which keeps technical decisions precise and well-documented.
Whether you need a power board designed from scratch, a precision sensing front-end, an embedded motor-control board, or a complex mixed-signal layout taken to production, I bring deep domain expertise that goes beyond routine PCB layout.
