    I’m Kevin. I design things. Over the last ten years I have taken over twenty commercial products from concept to manufacture while navigating startup challenges along the way. I am “practical” above all else. A team player and easy to communicate with, I am able to take rough concepts and deliver them as working products or prototypes with minimal cost and hassle. My specialty is electronic hardware design, though most projects involve physical or mechanical parts as well. This is my full time job, working from my dedicated workshop near Portland, Oregon. I have in-house capability for most aspects of bringing up new designs and fabricating one-off devices or prototypes. We have high resolution SLA 3D printing (UV resin), a large 4x8’ production CNC machine suitable for plastics and most aluminum, and plenty of bench/floor space for your project. I have relationships with various local machine shops and test labs, so extra support is convenient if needed. I work in Altium Designer for schematic and PCB board layout, and use Solidworks or Autodesk Fusion for physical component design and working with complex physical assemblies. I have designed many injection molded parts, stamped metal parts, etc. Many of my products involve radio so I’m familiar with the FCC test lab process for both module based radios and custom designs. I have designed Internet of Things IoT products, wireless mesh networking, and low cost proprietary point to point radios. I am intermediate level coding on small 8 to 32 bit microprocessors in C,C++. My code is extremely "human readable" and cleanly documented. I have solid experience with Mircochip PIC processors, Atmel, STM32, and MSP430. I have written several low level handlers for custom board hardware and protocols. If you’re looking for a competent person that is easy and reliable to work with, and who will handle your project as if it were their own, let’s chat and see what happens.

    I have over 22 years of experience working and consulting for tech companies in Silicon Valley. Every technical challenge that I had overcome assured me that with the right frame of mind, I could accomplish anything. Engineering is also my hobby, and I have been doing it since before high school. I was born with a soldering iron in one hand and writing code with the other. I designed the hardware for over 100 projects, most of them being sold today. Some notable ones are Snapchat Spectacles (designed most of the electronics and PCB layout), Thornwave Labs' Bluetooth DC Power Meter (PowerMon) and all the other projects on the webpage, various RF modules (RN-171, RN4020, RN52), and development boards designed while working at Microchip. I also created production testers, lots of C/C++ programming, and firmware design. What I can do for you? --------------------------- High Level: project management, research. I am very experienced with hardware design and firmware, which allows me to integrate them more efficiently. Hardware: circuit design, component selection, electrical schematic, PCB payout. I am using Altium Designer. I will provide you with everything you need to go to manufacturing: Gerber files, NC drill, pick and place, assembly diagrams, 3D prints, 3D STEP model, and electrical schematics as well as offer support after the project is completed. I have experience with analog and digital design, RF, high-speed design, microcontrollers, highly complex boards, LCDs. I can run Spice simulations as well. I worked with various technologies and protocols: SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN, RS-485, Ethernet, Bluetooth, WiFi, and so on. Prototyping: I will manufacture the prototypes at a much lower cost than average. Over the years, I have developed working relationships with manufacturers in China, hence the cost-saving. I also have a lot of equipment: multimeters, oscilloscope, logic analyzer, vector network analyzer, USB protocol analyzer, power supplies, digital electronic load, soldering equipment, computers, and so on... Certifications: I can assist and oversee the certification process for FCC, IC, and others. Firmware development: I have 24+ years of experience coding in C/C++ and 20 years of firmware development. I can architect and develop your firmware from the ground up. I am exceptionally versed in the ARM Cortex line of microcontrollers: STM32 and Nordic. I will provide you with production-quality firmware. I know the ST and the Nordic microcontrollers like the back of my hand. I can get firmware done very quickly and efficiently for these chips. Software development: Basic tools running in Linux/Windows/Mac, basic GUIs. I can develop all the software tools you need for debugging, testing, and manufacturing. Manufacturing: If your project reaches this phase, I can offer contract manufacturing services. I will be delivering your finished product, ready to sell. The rate I displayed is an average number. It can vary up or down based on the complexity of the project. My rate reflects the experience and knowledge I have. I am good at what I do. Also, keep in mind that I will not bill you for hours like lawyers do for the time they spend in the shower thinking about the project. I will bill you only for the hours I spend advancing the project in a meaningful way.
