About

Electrical Engineer specializing in multilayer PCB design, from schematic capture through layout, DRC/ERC, Gerber generation, fabrication, and hardware bring-up. Proficient in Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, KiCad, and EasyEDA for schematic capture, PCB layout, and library/footprint creation. Experienced in designing for signal integrity, power integrity, and manufacturability, including power delivery networks, ground/power plane stackups, and EMI suppression on 2- to 4-layer boards.

Hands-on background in embedded systems (ESP32/ESP8266/ATmega) and hardware-software co-design gives a practical understanding of how layout decisions affect firmware and system performance. Comfortable working with hardware and mechanical engineers through prototype development, testing, and design revisions.

Experience

Hardware Engineer at LearnOBots (NSTP) (2025-08 – Present)

Designed and fabricated a 4-layer ESP32-WROOM-32D development PCB with dedicated ground and power planes for EMI suppression and high-frequency signal integrity.
Engineered a power delivery network using an LM2596 switching regulator (12V-to-3.3V conversion) supporting USB-to-UART, 7-segment display, and GPIO peripherals.
Integrated I2C, SPI, GPIO, and 16×2 LCD expansion headers; owned the full design workflow from schematic capture and layer stackup through DRC, Gerber generation, and hardware bring-up.
Developed an ATmega328P-based weather station PCB integrating DHT22 sensors and OLED interfaces, applying signal-integrity and low-power design best practices.
Designed an ESP-12E breakout and development board with integrated CH340C USB-to-UART bridging and auto-reset circuitry, reducing firmware flashing time and accelerating the development cycle.
Built a custom Arduino Uno shield for the Buddy Bot platform, consolidating sensor integration and control module wiring into a single, organized PCB interface.

Electrical Engineering Intern at APF Factory, PAF Kamra (2024-06 – 2024-07)

Performed electrical testing and calibration of radar and avionics control systems at the unit level, ensuring compliance with operational specifications.
Diagnosed PCB-level faults and executed rework procedures — hand soldering, stencil printing, and reflow soldering — on production assemblies.
