Skills

Summary:  17+ years of experience in Electronics :
From Gadgets / controllers / IoT_devices to Industrial and Automotive High-Speed multi-CPU / SoC and multi-PCB cutting-edge solutions ... even for Autonomous Driving platforms (Visteon's DriveCore).

I have designed systems with the next interfaces : DDR3/DDR4 / PCIe / M.2 / SATA / 100 Mpbs to 10/40Gb Ethernet / USB 3.1 / and a lot of newest wireless technologies like 3G / 4G / GSM / GPRS / BT / BLE / WiFi / UWB / LoRa etc. Fresh SoC experience with nVidia Xavier, Tegra, Texas Instruments SoCs, iMX6, iMX8, etc.

My services are: Hardware Design and Development (from idea to full mass-production), Hardware Consulting (SCH/PCB review), 3D sketching, 3D parts/enclosures design for prototypes as well as for plastic/metal mass-production, TurnKey projects: from scratch to CE/FCC certified mass-production! P.S. A couple of patents obtained (most interesting one - Laser Vision System)
