About
I’m a versatile hardware and electronics development engineer with 5 years of experience building embedded, power, and electromechanical systems end-to-end—from schematics and PCB layout through test, validation, and production support. I enjoy turning complex system requirements into reliable designs, applying DFx, IPC standards, and strong SI/PI, EMI/EMC practices to deliver hardware that works in real environments.
Across recent projects, I’ve led drone electronics and full lifecycle PCBA development (including power systems, BMS, flight controllers, ESCs, and automated test fixturing), supported carbon capture pilot infrastructure with robust data acquisition and PLC-based workflows, and developed embedded firmware and power electronics for automation systems (including instrumentation, motor control, and inverter/oscillator designs). I collaborate closely with vendors and manufacturers, document processes thoroughly, and take pride in troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and translating technical work into practical outcomes.

Work experience
Heavy lift drone development & electr onics assembly facility revamp. Designed and reviewed 4-8 layer PCBs including DC/DC supplies, BMS, flight controllers, and 60V/150A ESCs; applied SI/PI, DFM/DFT, and EMI/EMC principles. Defined PCB stack-ups, controlled impedance routing, and created test-point strategy in Altium; resolved production issues with PCB assemblers to IPC Class II/III standards. Produced assembly/inspection/cleaning/testing/rework documentation, specified conformal coating materials and processes, and supported PCBA test rig development (pogo-pin fixtures and switch matrices) for automated testing and programming. Managed BOMs, ECR/ECOS, and configuration control with supply chain oversight; evaluated solutions for AOI and conformal coating, including due diligence and business case work. Secured >£100K investment.
Carbon capture technology development and pilot facility build-out. Conducted rapid prototyping and IoT integration of data acquisition modules measuring sorbent reaction rates in a wet lab environment. Specced and sourced instrumentation for lab and pilot applications, coordinating with vendors for specialty services. Built pilot facility PLC panel work; improved P&ID workflow efficiency and BOM consistency using VBA/Python automation.
Hardware + firmware development for culinary automation systems. Designed and built a polar coordinate 3D printer from scratch in two weeks using parameter-driven CAD. Performed schematic capture and PCB layout in KiCAD for motor control, power electronics, MCU, and sensing applications with IPC/DFx principles. Led development of an open-source single-phase induction heater by designing inverter/oscillator circuits, reviewing literature, and coordinating with an external firmware/circuit development vendor. Specified and sourced BLDCs, steppers, load cells, thermocouples, SMPS, IR/TOF sensors, and motor drivers balancing performance, availability, cost, and compliance. Wrote firmware for ESP32 and Atmel architectures in embedded C/C++ and MicroPython, and developed a G-code parser and post-processor in Python.
