About

I am a hardware engineer designing and validating reliable electronic systems.

My work spans chip, board and system level—from requirements and architecture through bring-up, validation and production support.

My experience includes camera and sensor boards, interface hardware and the redesign work that follows when a compliance test does not pass. I stay involved from requirements and architecture through component selection, schematic and PCB layout, bring-up, measurement, EMC validation and production support.

I enjoy the point where theory meets the bench: when a design has to be measured, debugged, documented and made repeatable. That is why I stay involved from architecture through validation and production support.

I take ownership across the full hardware path—from system architecture and component choices to validation and production support.

From chip to system

My background spans integrated-circuit design, PCB development and product hardware. My master's thesis focused on fully differential operational amplifiers for integrated RF MMIC low-pass filters in SiGe BiCMOS, using Cadence Virtuoso and CST Studio. That chip-level foundation still shapes how I read datasheets and reason about system trade-offs.

How I work with teams

Hardware is never only electronics. I work across FPGA, firmware, mechanics, optics, thermal constraints, manufacturing and compliance to turn a circuit into a reliable product. I also mentor interns and junior engineers in PCB design, signal integrity and EMC validation; before industry, I taught electronics theory and practice as a research associate and lecturer.

Exploring

I am exploring embedded AI and robotics—the hardware side of systems that sense, compute and act. This is active learning, separate from my professional experience, and a direction I am developing deliberately.

Active learning, not professional experience.
