Functional Skill Areas

Electronics System Architecture – High Speed Digital – FPGA Logic – Mixed Signal – Power Supply PCB Layout

 

Summary of Qualifications

Began as an assembler over 30 years ago. Full product design responsibility within a few years of employment. Been completing successful designs ever since. The hundreds of varied projects many of them very complex requiring ground breaking approaches. Self-motivated and professional; Capable of working independently or as part of a team. Worked as independent contractor for several years. Excellent attention to detail.


Strengths

System architectural designs; Mixed signal integrity; High speed digital designs; Assisting PCB layout for complex mixed signal designs; EMC friendly designs; FPGA logic designs using, Xilinx, Lattice and Altera (in both VHDL and Verilog); Very mechanically inclined.
