Title: Embedded Systems Engineer | PCB Design (EasyEDA/Altium) | PCBA
Hi, I’m Junyang (Ryan) Chen, an embedded systems developer based in the heart of the global electronics hub—Shenzhen, China. I specialize in taking hardware concepts from schematic design to fully functional prototypes, leveraging local supply chains to ensure speed and quality.
What I Do Best:
Fast PCB Design & Layout: Expert in using EasyEDA (LCEDA) for rapid prototyping and Altium Designer for complex multilayer boards. I can seamlessly connect design with manufacturing (JLCPCB/PCBWay) to get your boards printed in as little as 24 hours.
Embedded Firmware Development: Proficient in C/C++ with extensive experience in 51-series and STM32 (32-bit) microcontrollers. I apply algorithmic thinking from competitive programming to build efficient, stable firmware.
Rapid Prototyping & Manufacturing: Based in Shenzhen, I provide a unique advantage in sourcing components and managing PCB/PCBA production. I ensure every design is Optimized for Manufacturing (DFM).
IoT & Sensor Integration: Successfully developed projects involving OLED displays, RTC, environmental sensors, and PID control.
Why Work With Me?
I am a Computer Science student backed by a family-owned electronics manufacturing facility. This gives me insider knowledge of the production process—meaning I don't just draw circuits; I build products that work in the real world.
Let’s bring your hardware vision to life.
