From PCB design to firmware development
Bridging hardware, embedded systems, and software integration.
Hardware Design & Embedded Systems
I have a strong, hands-on background in electronic engineering and embedded systems, bridging hardware design, low-level control, and PC-based software integration.
My approach to electronics is engineering-driven and practical: I focus on robustness, maintainability, and seamless integration with software and mechanical subsystems. This allows me to contribute effectively to multidisciplinary projects where electronics, mechanics, and software must work together as a single coherent system.
Custom Electronic Systems Design
I have designed and built custom electronic systems from the ground up, including a CCD camera controlled directly from a PC, starting from PCB design and assembly through to firmware development and software control.
This work involved signal handling, hardware–software interfacing, and reliable data acquisition in a real-world environment. The complete lifecycle approach — from schematic design to production code — ensures deep understanding of system behavior and robust, maintainable solutions.
Embedded Prototyping & Deployment
I regularly work with Raspberry Pi and Arduino platforms to prototype, control, and deploy embedded solutions, combining low-level electronics with higher-level application logic.
These systems are often integrated into larger software or automation environments, serving as the bridge between physical sensors, actuators, and enterprise software systems. This includes custom sensor integration, real-time data processing, and reliable communication protocols.
Motion Control & Electromechanical Systems
I collaborate closely with electromechanical teams, helping to design, control, and tune rotary axes and motion systems. This includes implementing precise control logic, interfacing sensors and actuators, and ensuring reliable communication between electronic components, mechanical systems, and supervisory software.
Motion control requires deep understanding of feedback systems, PID tuning, real-time constraints, and mechanical behavior — bringing together electrical, mechanical, and software engineering disciplines into a unified solution.
PCB Design & Firmware Development
From schematic capture and PCB layout to firmware development and hardware-software integration, I handle the complete electronic design process. This includes signal integrity analysis, power management, component selection, and design for manufacturability.
Firmware development spans bare-metal programming, RTOS integration, communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN), and hardware abstraction layers that enable maintainable, portable code across different platforms.
Multidisciplinary Integration
My electronics background enables effective contribution to complex, multidisciplinary projects where different engineering domains must converge:
- Hardware-Software Integration: Seamless interfacing between embedded systems and application software
- Signal Acquisition & Processing: Reliable data capture, filtering, and real-time analysis
- Control Systems: Feedback loops, PID controllers, and motion control algorithms
- System Architecture: Designing complete solutions that balance electrical, mechanical, and software constraints
- Prototyping to Production: Engineering solutions that transition smoothly from concept to deployment
This comprehensive approach ensures that electronic systems are not isolated components, but integral parts of larger, well-integrated engineering solutions.
