Hire the Best PCB Designers
in Canada

I help companies turn ideas and electronics designs into fully working and reliable devices. I am a Hardware and Firmware Engineer with 10+ years of experience developing real products, with hardware designed for 70+ successful projects, many of which are currently on the market. Unlike many freelancers who stop at schematic and PCB design, I support projects through board bring-up, firmware integration, and system debugging in a hardware lab, ensuring the device actually works and meets the expected specifications. I also work directly with PCB manufacturers and assembly partners, helping clients avoid production issues and ensuring designs move smoothly from prototype to manufacturing. My approach focuses on building functional systems, validating them through testing, and identifying issues early before they become expensive problems in production. Two client Products I Have Developed: ✅ Smart home devices ✅ Corrosion monitoring sensors ✅ Drone and boat controllers ✅ Gimbal control systems ✅ BLDC motor controller for medical beds ✅ Muscle stimulators ✅ Medical scales ✅ Smart irrigation and weather monitoring systems ✅ Smart camera systems What I Deliver: ✅ Hardware architecture and PCB design ✅ Embedded firmware development ✅ Functional PCB prototypes ready for testing ✅ Board bring-up and hardware validation ✅ Hardware debugging and troubleshooting ✅ Reliability design reviews (ESD protection, thermal stability, power integrity, signal integrity, EMC, UL, CE) Typical Projects I Help With: ✅ Bringing up new PCB prototypes ✅ Debugging boards that are not working or unstable ✅ Hardware and firmware integration ✅ Reviewing schematics and PCB layouts before manufacturing ✅ Reliability audits to improve product lifetime ✅ Fixing power stability, ESD protection, and thermal issues During my career, I have used various technologies and components. Below are some of them: ⭐RF modules: LORA, WIFI, BLE, GPS, GSM, LTE, ZIGBEE, NRF52840, ESP32, SARA-R510, CC2530, CC2538, SIM9001, SIM800, Quectel, Arduino_IOT... ⭐Microcontrollers/Microprocessors: STM32 ( F and L family), ATAMEGA, ESP32, MSP430, MSP432, ATSAM, NFR52840, PIC32, PIC24, NXP, ARDUINO, IMX8... ⭐ Sensors: Temperature, humidity, O2 sensor, PH sensor, Light sensor, motion sensor, water leakage sensor, Nitrate sensor, current sensors, Voltage sensor, distance sensors, corrosion sensor, Scale sensors, accelerometers, Magnetometers, Rain sensor, Air quality sensors... If you are looking for someone who can design, bring up, and debug your hardware until it works as expected, please send me a message, and we can discuss your project.

I provide PCB design, schematic capture, and PCB layout services using KiCad for ESP32, STM32, LED lighting, IoT, embedded hardware, and compact electronics products. My focus is reliable layouts, stable power delivery, thermal management, and DFM-aware designs ready for prototyping and manufacturing (Gerbers, BOM, Pick-and-Place / CPL), including JLCPCB and other PCB fabrication / assembly workflows. What I help clients avoid: • Noisy ADC readings caused by poor grounding or poor PCB layout • Unstable regulators, weak power rails, or power supply issues • USB, UART, CAN, RS-485, SPI, or I2C communication problems from routing mistakes • LED thermal and power distribution problems that reduce performance or lifespan • Costly PCB re-spins caused by avoidable design errors Recent work includes: • ESP32 boards with USB-UART and auto-programming circuits • STM32 mixed-signal boards with analog / digital grounding and layout separation • Buck converters with filtering and stable power stages • LED arrays, LED strips, and custom lighting PCBs • Compact PCB designs for wearables, consumer products, and small-form-factor electronics • Microcontroller development boards for embedded systems prototyping What I deliver: • Circuit design, schematic capture, and PCB layout • LED lighting and embedded hardware PCB design • Compact and space-constrained PCB layouts • Grounding, decoupling, and power distribution strategy • USB differential pair routing and interface design • 2-layer and 4-layer PCB stackups • Gerbers, BOM, Pick-and-Place / CPL files • Manufacturer-ready outputs for JLCPCB and other PCB fabs I aim to deliver practical, production-ready hardware designs that reduce iteration time and help projects move smoothly into prototyping and assembly.

Bringing innovative mechanical products to market is no easy feat. It's a journey filled with challenges and potential pitfalls. As a seasoned founder, I've raised over $2M in funding and reduced product costs by 64% though supply chain / design improvements in my own appliance manufacturing venture. Now it's my goal to help Entrepreneurs and SMEs accelerate their product to the next stage of growth. Particularly with clients in the renewable energy and consumer appliance industries. Specializations include: • Product Launch: Flexible guidance for entrepreneurs through all stages of growth including product market fit, research, rapid prototyping, operations planning, venture capital and exit strategy. • Mechanical Engineering: Product specification, CAD modeling, prototyping, product testing, design for manufacturing, product certification, product support, and patent development. • Supply Chain: Manufacturer sourcing, supplier relationship management, production planning, product protection strategy and design for manufacturing. I see my clients as partners in a shared journey to success. Let's connect and take your product to the next level together!

I am an expert in KiCad and Eagle. I am experienced RF Electrical Engineer. The schematics and layouts are my strong points. I will update the library both schematic and layout and generate the Gerber files. Maintain design rules of PCB broads including track widths, vias, via drills, maintain clearance, pear gaps for main manufacturers. Also, I will recommend suggestions for manufacturers.

I am an experienced Electronics Engineer with a wide range of skills specifically tailored to PCB and PCB related designs. My formal education is in Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Chicago where I focused my studies on system level programming, microcontroller based designs, and semiconductor physics. The majority of my career has been spent working with start-ups in a number of different industries and filling talent gaps that are beyond that of your typical electronics design engineer, which make me a valuable asset for all your electronics needs. Below are a few of my capabilities, feel free to send me a message asking about any of these skills or if there is something you don't see listed here.
