I design embedded systems and mixed-signal hardware — from schematic to silicon to shipped product. Based in Austin, TX.
I'm an electronics engineer with 7 years of experience taking hardware products from a napkin schematic to a certified, manufacturable board. My focus is low-power embedded systems, sensor integration, and power electronics — the layer where firmware meets physics.
I've led PCB layout on 4-to-12 layer boards, brought up custom silicon on new hardware revisions, and debugged signal integrity issues down to the nanosecond. I care about designs that survive contact with the real world: EMI, thermal drift, tolerance stack-up, and the field.
Outside of client work, I build open-source test fixtures and write up post-mortems on hardware failures — because the interesting part is always what broke and why.
A few boards and systems I've taken from concept to production.
65W USB-PD charger built on a GaN half-bridge topology. Cut thermal footprint 40% versus the silicon reference design while hitting Level VI efficiency.
Battery-powered LoRa sensor node with a 4-year life target. Custom power-gating firmware brought sleep draw down to 1.8µA.
High-speed backplane routing 25 Gbps differential pairs across 6 card slots. Owned impedance control, stack-up, and eye-diagram validation.
Bed-of-nails in-circuit test rig with a Python test harness, cutting per-unit QA time from 12 minutes to 90 seconds on the line.
Open to full-time roles and select consulting work.
