I’m a PCB design | Reverse PCB Design Engineer specializing in reconstructing, analyzing, and improving existing circuit boards when original documentation is missing or incomplete. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve reverse-engineered dozens of commercial products ranging from consumer electronics to industrial controllers helping clients recreate legacy hardware, correct design flaws, and prepare boards for manufacturing. Work History & Experience •Rebuilt complete schematic and PCB files from physical boards for multiple clients in the U.S. and Europe •Successfully reverse-engineered 4-layer and 6-layer RF boards, including WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS modules •Restored obsolete industrial control boards where BOM and Gerbers were no longer available •Converted entire product families from old proprietary boards into modern Altium or KiCad designs •Helped several startups recover and redesign hardware after losing original engineering teams •Reverse-designed battery-powered IoT devices, optimizing power paths, charging circuits, and safety features •Translated raw PCB scans and photos into fully manufacturable Gerber and ODB++ files •Conducted board validation, corrected routing issues, and improved manufacturability for mass production •Supported clients in factory communication, DFM review, stack-up selection, and production testing Core Skills •PCB reverse engineering (from 1-layer to 8-layer boards) •Schematic reconstruction from physical PCB •Net tracing, component identification, and footprint rebuilding •Recreating BOM with equivalent components •Altium, KiCad, Eagle, OrCAD •High-speed and RF routing reconstruction •Power supply and charger circuit analysis •Legacy hardware modernization •EMC/ESD improvement and reliability upgrades •Gerber recreation for manufacturing What I Can Deliver •Complete schematic + PCB files from any board •Clean, readable, and logically organized circuits •Rebuilt BOM with part numbers and sourcing links •Improved design ready for prototyping or mass production •DXF/STEP data for enclosure designers •Manufacturing package (Gerber, drill, pick-and-place, PDF docs) Why Clients Choose Me •Hands-on experience with 100+ boards across multiple industries •Ability to reverse-engineer boards without original documents •Fast, precise reconstruction—even for dense multilayer layouts •Professional communication and clear reporting •A strong record supporting real production builds

I build hardware products where electronics, mechanics, and control systems have to work together cleanly from day one. My work covers PCB design, CAD, IoT devices, Raspberry Pi integrations, PLC-based control systems, and product development for teams that need practical engineering, not disconnected design tasks. I support projects from concept development through prototyping and production preparation, with a strong focus on reliability, manufacturability, and real-world use. My experience includes schematic design, PCB layout, component selection, BOM development, enclosure design, 3D CAD modeling, and design for manufacturing. I regularly work on products where electrical and mechanical constraints must be solved together, especially in embedded and connected systems. That includes board size, connector placement, thermal behavior, enclosure fit, mounting strategy, assembly flow, and service access. I also work with Raspberry Pi when a project needs device control, edge processing, communication, or rapid hardware integration. For automation and industrial environments, I support PLC-based systems where dependable control logic, field integration, and serviceability matter. I approach product development with a business mindset because a design is only valuable if it can be built efficiently, tested properly, and moved forward without unnecessary redesigns. I stay focused on engineering decisions that affect timeline, cost, product quality, and long-term maintainability. My working style is structured, professional, and detail-driven. Clients value clear communication, organized deliverables, and engineering work that is grounded in production reality. My goal is to help companies develop hardware products that are solid technically, practical commercially, and ready for the next stage.

Hi, I’m am an American U.S. based medical device engineer with 15+ years of experience designing, testing, and validating PCB-level electronics for medical, industrial, military, and R&D applications. I specialize in EagleCAD/Fusion360 (primary) and Altium-compatible designs, and have hands-on experience with micro-soldering and bench-level troubleshooting and repair (facilities can be arranged for the right project). If you need help turning a schematic into a manufacturable board, debugging an existing design, or setting up automated testing for your hardware, I can support you from system concept through prototype, verification, and market release. Transparent communication and regulatory-grade documentation come standard—you’ll always know what’s been done, what’s next, and why it matters. Let’s get your design validated and ready to build.
