About
I’m an AI/Deep Learning Engineer with experience in electronics and PCB design, and I’m currently building AI-powered tools for automating parts of the PCB design workflow.
I can help with **KiCad and Eagle component libraries, symbols, footprints, and schematic generation**, using an AI-assisted workflow that can **often CUT THE TIME required for library and schematic work by up to 50%**, while retaining human review and verification.
This includes:
* Creating symbols and footprints from datasheets
* Generating and validating component libraries
* Creating and modifying KiCad/Eagle schematics
* Connecting components, nets, labels, and multi-sheet schematics
* Reviewing libraries and schematics for common errors and inconsistencies
* Converting and working across KiCad and Eagle formats
I’m also the developer of FootprintAI, an AI agent for PCB design that generates component libraries and schematics from datasheets or natural-language descriptions. It currently supports native KiCad (.kicad_sym, .kicad_mod, .kicad_sch) and Eagle (.lbr, .sch), with Altium support planned.
FootprintAI ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ provides the broader AI-driven PCB design workflow, including library generation, schematic creation, connectivity, rendering, and DRC. FootprintAI Library Generator ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ is currently in private beta and focuses on generating and verifying symbols and footprints from datasheet drawings, with support for 50+ package types and exports to KiCad and Eagle.
My experience includes working on MEMS mirror driver, SiPM readout circuit for a laser-based LiDAR system among others. Combined with my understanding of AI/ML and agent-based systems, this hands-on experience with both electronics and AI helped shape the development of FootprintAI. I bring this combination of hardware understanding and AI-driven automation to PCB library and schematic generation, with a strong focus on correctness, verification, and practical engineering workflows.
I’m particularly interested in **real-world library and schematic projects where accuracy matters**. I use AI-assisted tooling to accelerate the work while reviewing and validating the generated results, and I’m happy to iterate based on your feedback.
Clear communication and reliable delivery are important to me, so I’m available for regular discussion, review, and iteration throughout the project.
