Thank you for taking the time to view my profile.
I'm a professional electrical engineer with experience in power electronics, digital circuits, analog circuits, and HF RF circuits. My favorite EDA tools are OrCAD or KiCad for schematics capture, Allegro or KiCad for PCB layout, LTspice for analog circuit simulation, Verilog/SystemVerilog/Vivado/ModelSim/Questa for digital and FPGA design, SIMetrix/SIMPLIS for SMPS design, dsPIC33/MPLAB/PowerSmart for digital power design. Still, I have used many other EDA tools under customer/client requests in the past, such as Pspice, TINA-TI, ADS, Quartus Prime, etc.
I'm also a professional programmer with experience in PC BIOS, BSP, Linux, and Android, and I'm familiar with many programming languages such as x86 assembly, ARM assembly, C, C++, Java, Python, HTML, CSS, XML, SQL, JavaScript, Unix shell script.
I have many mass production designs for domestic clients and some from foreign countries. If you want reference to some of my product designs, I can ask for the client's permission as they are mostly NDA secured. I'm serious about the intellectual properties of others.
But you can view my portfolio for a LF N2PK VNA and a Red Pitaya STEMlab125 designs, both are the few best in class amateur measurement equipment with professional device quality, I improved on their original design to better fit my daily electrical test requirements, and as I just produce my own improved design for my private use, so it's legal for me to show them here without IP issues with the copyright holders.
My current interest and most recent skills are FPGA, SMPS, digital power, motor control, and automotive electronics.
