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
