About

Hello! I’m Tom, a Belgian freelance electronics hardware engineer focused on PCB design and hardware development. I help companies bring electronic products to life — from the first schematic to a production-ready design. Every stage is handled with care and precision, including firmware bring-up, mechanical fit checks, and thorough documentation to ensure a smooth path to manufacturing. My focus is on delivering reliable, well-documented hardware that integrates seamlessly into your product. I work with companies across industrial, medical, IoT, maritime, and defence sectors — turning ideas into robust, manufacturable electronics.
