About
I am an electronics hardware developer based in Norway, specializing in PCB design, analog electronics, power electronics, and industrial control and measurement systems.
My experience includes developing custom electronic solutions for industrial applications, from initial circuit design and component selection to PCB layout, prototyping, troubleshooting, and manufacturing documentation.
Industrial & Oil and Gas Experience
In addition to electronics development, I have over 15 years of hands-on experience in the oil and gas industry, particularly with subsea electric motors and industrial equipment.
This background gives me practical insight into industrial reliability, troubleshooting, maintenance requirements, and challenging operating environments.
I apply this experience when developing electronic systems for industrial monitoring, measurement, and control applications.
My areas of expertise include:
PCB design using KiCad, including multilayer boards Analog circuit design and signal conditioning DC/DC converters, voltage regulators, and power supply design Industrial 4–20 mA interfaces and sensor electronics ESP32-based hardware and embedded system integration Schematic review, troubleshooting, and PCB redesign Component selection, BOM optimization, and manufacturing preparation Prototype assembly, testing, and hardware validation
Examples of my project experience:
Industrial analog transmitter and sensor interface circuits Multilayer PCB designs for power distribution and voltage conversion Custom DC/DC power supplies with voltage and current regulation ESP32-based monitoring and measurement hardware Industrial communication interfaces and control electronics
What I can deliver:
I can assist with individual development tasks or complete hardware design projects, including schematics, PCB layouts, Gerber files, BOMs, assembly documentation, and prototype testing where required.
I focus on practical, reliable, and manufacturable designs, with particular attention to component availability, troubleshooting, and real-world operating conditions.
Whether you need a new PCB designed, an existing circuit reviewed, or help solving a hardware problem, I would be happy to discuss your project.
