About
I am an experienced electronics design and development specialist with a strong hands-on background in circuit design, PCB layout, prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and product development.
My experience includes switch-mode power supplies, motor controls, analog and digital electronics, embedded systems, PCB design/layout, surface-mount electronics, and electronic test systems. I have previous professional experience with Altium Designer and currently work with Fusion 360 for mechanical CAD and electro-mechanical integration.
I am particularly effective at troubleshooting difficult hardware problems and improving existing designs. My background includes developing power electronics, designing automated test equipment, building prototypes, performing board-level troubleshooting, and creating technical documentation and test procedures.
I also develop ESP32-based embedded and IoT projects, including low-power wireless systems, sensors, and e-paper displays.
I am available for PCB design and modification, electronics troubleshooting, prototype development, design review, testing, CAD/electromechanical integration, and technical documentation.

Experience
- Senior Electronic Technician Stanley Black & Decker · Full-time Mar 2011 – Jul 2026 15 yrs 4 mos Towson, MD, USA Senior Electronic Technician supporting electronic product development, PCB design, prototyping, testing, and troubleshooting. Used Altium to design and lay out prototype and production PCBs, including a test board for motor-control development and two compact PCBs designed to fit inside the handle of a drill/driver. Built and tested prototype assemblies and verified functions including motor control, speed ramping, and lighting. Incorporated engineering feedback into PCB revisions, performed final design checks, and released the production PCB design for an order of approximately 10,000 boards. Performed board-level troubleshooting, component-level rework, design verification, and engineering support.
- Senior Electronics Technician / Design & Test Advanced Conversion Technology · Full-time Mar 1996 – Aug 2004 8 yrs 5 mos Middletown, PA, USA Designed, built, tested, and troubleshot switch-mode power supplies and high-power electronic systems. Worked closely with engineering on prototype development and design improvements. Developed a 3-phase 1 kW front-end power supply and contributed to high-current 5 V / 240 A power systems using Vicor converter modules. Designed and built electronic loads and test fixtures, performed board-level troubleshooting, and wrote test procedures and engineering change documentation (ECOs). Experienced with power semiconductors, magnetics, snubber networks, PCB layout considerations, and resolving switching transients and other difficult hardware problems.
- Electronics Technician / Test & Calibration Red Lion Controls · Full-time Jun 1993 – Mar 1996 2 yrs 9 mos York, PA, USA Built, tested, troubleshot, and calibrated industrial electronic controls including counters and temperature controllers. Developed automated test equipment and procedures used for product calibration and certification. Performed board-level troubleshooting, component-level repair, electronic testing, and verification of production equipment.
