WHAT I DO
I help hardware teams design and deliver robust, production-ready PCBs—faster, cleaner, and without the typical hand-holding. I specialise in solving complex layout problems, optimising for manufacturability, and building design systems that scale across teams.
SERVICES
You’re not hiring a layout guy. You’re hiring a systems-level thinker who owns the full hardware pipeline—from architecture to preparing the boards for testing. I build reusable libraries, scalable design processes, and testable PCBs that ship right the first time.
EXPERTISE
- High-speed digital & RF design (GHz domain, impedance control & SI)
- Drop-test standard PCB systems (JEDEC-compliant, robust mechanical design)
- Altium Designer expert with custom libraries & automation workflows
- System-level architecture
- Remote-first development with async communication and self-managed delivery
EFFECTIVE REMOTE WORK
- I give clear up-front deliverables & we have milestone-based engagement
- Weekly async updates + live Reviews / Reporting
- Source control, versioning, and documentation included
- Rapid prototyping using my own optimised library ecosystem
- Optional DFM review and handoff to manufacturers
TYPICAL ENGAGEMENTS
- Design & deliver a complex PCB (RF/SoC/IoT) within 4–6 weeks
- Audit & refactor an existing hardware platform for performance or reliability
- Build scalable libraries and templates for internal engineering teams
- Solve design bottlenecks and improve time-to-production for overstretched teams
PAST IMPACT
- Cut NPI time in half for major telecom hardware by rebuilding PCB architecture
- Reduced debug failures by 80% through better mechanical/test design integration
- Created Altium library system that scaled a 4-person team with zero duplication
