About
I am an electronics engineer with experience in building automation, professional audio and defense electronics. I take a board from requirements to a manufacturable design.
What I do:
- Schematic design and component selection, with availability and cost in mind.
- PCB layout from 2-layer to multilayer: power, mains-side safety clearances, isolation, analog and mixed-signal, and motor drivers.
- Design reviews: I check your schematic or layout before you order boards.
- Manufacturing outputs: Gerber/ODB++, BOM, pick-and-place, assembly drawings and fabrication notes ready for JLCPCB, PCBWay or your own manufacturer.
- Migration between KiCad, Altium and EasyEDA.
Background:
- Advanced PCB design training (FEDEVEL Academy, Robert Feranec).
- MSc in Control Engineering, Electronic Systems and Industrial Computing.
- Several products I designed are in series production: KNX modules for HVAC, energy metering and capacitive touch panels.
I communicate clearly, deliver on time and give you editable source files with every job.
