Printed Circuit Board Designer @ Atego School

About

I am a Mechatronic Engineer with a strong foundation in embedded systems, IoT development, PCB design, and automation. My academic background, combined with hands-on experience, allows me to design, build, and optimize intelligent hardware systems from concept to deployment. I specialize in working with microcontrollers such as the ESP32 and integrating sensors, communication protocols (I2C, UART, SPI), and wireless technologies (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) into robust, real-world applications. My work ranges from designing compact, power-efficient PCBs to developing full IoT solutions for smart agriculture, industrial automation, and consumer electronics. I am proficient in tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, SolidWorks, KiCAD, and Altium, and I have experience with real-time data processing, simulation, and control system design. Whether it's a solar-powered irrigation system or a Wi-Fi-enabled relay controller, I approach each project with attention to detail and a problem-solving mindset. Currently, I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my skills in embedded design, automation, and system integration—preferably in forward-thinking environments focused on innovation and sustainability.
