I build value through electronics design

As an accomplished electrical engineer, my journey in the world of electronics and technology began in my childhood when I dedicated myself to disassembling electronic devices and exploring their intricate components. This early fascination with electronics eventually led me to delve deeper into the field. During my secondary school years, I delved into the art of designing and etching printed circuit boards. Armed with a soldering iron, I spent my teenage years crafting electronic marvels.

My pursuit of knowledge and expertise led me to the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, where I honed my skills and acquired a solid foundation in the field. Following my academic journey, I embarked on a professional career as a hardware design engineer, working for a variety of companies, ranging from innovative startups to industry giants like ASML – semiconductor sector.

Over the years, I’ve gained my skills in collaborating within multidisciplinary teams, focusing on designing PCBs, defining wire harnesses, crafting product enclosures, and supporting electronics production. Leveraging tools like Cadence OrCAD, Mentor Graphics and Altium Designer, I’ve consistently delivered innovative and robust hardware solutions across diverse projects and industries.

Currently based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

I look forward to contributing to your success.

As an electrical engineer I was involved in the development of the Vertex One drone, a state-of-the-art autonomous data-gathering platform tailored to various focus domains. This remarkable drone boasts out-of-the-box autonomy, enabling it to perform tasks independently with ease.

My responsibilities revolved around designing and testing the crucial onboard electronic boards that ensured seamless drone operation. These boards are integral to the control and data acquisition systems, working in harmony to provide accurate, reliable data. The Vertex One drone is equipped with specialized sensors, making it a powerful tool for inspections and data collection.

I have worked on a bigger input/output board on which we can connect peripherals such as: linear actuators, key switches, LED diodes, buttons, DC motors, RGB LED strips, etc.. The connections between the board and peripherals is done via 72pin CardEdge connector. The circuit board is based on the NXP LPC11E67JBD100 Cortex M0+ uC and contains a few different communications: UART, MDB, I2C, SPI, USB, 1-wire, ccTalk etc.. My tasks included schematic and layout design, selection of components and drawing the symbols and footprints. The single sided 4 layer PCB contains over 400 SMD and THT components.

​iSYSTEM Labs is developing a new family of products called Active probes. Their purpose is debugging and tracing the code in the microcontrollers. My assigment was the design of the black anodized aluminum enclosure, that has the cooling function for the device. Alongside the enclosure design I was also in charge of designing the mulilayer PCBs (8-10 lay) with 400-550 components. The heart of the circuit is the Xilinx’s FPGA with 676 pins in BGA package. The PCB contain high integration of components with high speed differential pairs.

Both schematic and printed circuit board for electronic dental testing unit model DTU-1000 were designed from scratch. The device makes it easier to test and repair the dental handpiece and its micro motors. The 4lay circuit contains switching, linear and DC/DC isolated power supplies. Its core is a 32 bit Cortex M4 MCU from Microchip. The circuit board controlles 9 relays on which the electromagnetic valves for air and water are attached. My tasks included the schematic and layout design, the selection of components, drawing of libraries, assembling and testing the boards and ordering the material.

In cooperation with the company Torqbyte we have created a couple of different custom PCB layouts 2-4lay that are going to be used for prototyping and testing purposes. The printed circuit boards are designed to be manually or mechanically assembled.

As a freelance hardware design engineer, I created a custom board using a Raspberry Pi CM4 as the core control unit. This board features multiple I/O ports and a display interface, making it a versatile solution for a range of applications. My work involved schematic design, layout, and testing to ensure a reliable and efficient hardware solution tailored to the specific needs of my clients.

As a hardware developer with expertise in electronics and mechanical design, I played a role in an R&D engineering focusing on data encryption devices. Designed both the circuitry and the enclosures, ensuring a seamless integration of electronics technology and physical form. The result was a cutting-edge encryption systems known as Xiphra encryptors.

I am an organizer of Electronics / Hardware Talks Meetup group in Eindhoven. We started the series of events in wish to connect electrical engineers in Eindhoven – The Netherlands.
Events are comprised of lectures from engineers and academics and is also meant for networking.

My work includes hosting, speaking, meeting with other speakers and website maintenance.
