I am a Hardware & FPGA Engineer with 6+ years of industry experience, working hands‑on across the entire product development cycle—from schematic design and PCB layout to FPGA implementation, board bring‑up, and system‑level debugging.
I help startups and engineering teams build reliable, manufacturable, and testable hardware—not just designs that work in simulation or temporarily on a lab bench. My focus is on creating hardware that integrates cleanly, scales well to production, and minimizes costly board re-spins and long debug cycles.
**Core Expertise**
✅ Schematic Design (KiCad / Altium Designer)
a. Digital circuits, power supplies, clocks, and high‑speed interfaces
b. FPGA support circuitry (configuration, IO banks, JTAG, external memory, regulators)
c. Microcontroller and single‑board computer (SBC) interfacing
✅ PCB Layout (Altium Designer)
a. Signal integrity, power distribution networks (PDN), and clock routing
b. Mixed FPGA + MCU designs
c. Manufacturability, assembly, and test considerations
✅ Component Selection & BOM Support
a. Availability, lifecycle status, and cost vs. performance trade‑offs
b. Design decisions informed by supply chain realities
**FPGA & Embedded Systems**
✅ FPGA Design & Bring‑Up
a. Verilog / VHDL development
b. RTL integration with custom hardware
c. FPGA bring‑up, validation, and debugging
d. Experience with Xilinx (Vivado), Intel/Altera (Quartus), and Lattice FPGA platforms
✅ Microcontroller & SBC Integration
a. Arduino‑based systems for control, automation, and prototyping
b. Raspberry Pi integration for higher‑level control, testing, and data handling
c. FPGA‑to‑MCU and FPGA‑to‑SBC interfaces
✅ Interfaces & Protocols
a. SPI, I²C, UART, PWM, GPIO
b. Custom digital interfaces tailored to system requirements
**Bring‑Up, Debug, & Production Support**
✔ Board bring‑up and validation
✔ Design revisions, ECOs, and production support
✔ Root‑cause analysis across hardware, FPGA logic, and firmware boundaries
**My Engineering Approach**
✔ Clean, well‑structured schematics with clear signal naming and hierarchy
✔ PCB layouts optimized for power integrity, clock stability, and I/O reliability
✔ Logical partitioning between FPGA, MCU, and SBC domains
✔ Well‑documented RTL and hardware design decisions
✔ Practical trade‑offs based on cost, component availability, and production constraints
I design PCBs that are easy to assemble, easy to debug, and easy to revise, while ensuring FPGA, microcontroller, and Raspberry Pi systems integrate predictably and robustly—helping teams move from prototype to production with confidence.
If you need one engineer who understands PCBs, FPGAs, and embedded control systems, I can help bridge the gap between hardware, logic, and system‑level integration.
