About
I am a curious and hands-on hardware and FPGA engineer with a strong foundation in digital and analog electronics, schematic and PCB design, and RTL/verification using Verilog and VHDL. I have delivered projects on Xilinx FPGAs (UltraScale/UltraScale+), encryption engines, and high-speed interfaces, as well as PCB design in Altium Designer, KiCad and Eagle. I enjoy bridging hardware and software, and I am seeking a hybrid or full-remote role to continue growing in this space.
I have a track record of collaborating across R&D, engineering and manufacturing teams, maintaining a strong focus on meeting customer specifications and lifecycle milestones. My skill set encompasses hardware design, embedded development, test and validation, and a practical approach to prototyping and debugging, with experience using Vivado, C++, and C#.
