I am a hardware architect and End-to-End PCB Design Specialist with deep expertise in developing secure, high-performance, and scalable electronic systems across IoT, AI, and cybersecurity applications. I support clients throughout the full hardware development lifecycle—from initial requirements to production-ready design—delivering optimized, standards-compliant, and cyber-resilient solutions.
Core Services Offered:
- Client requirement analysis and system architecture planning.
- Component selection and lifecycle management.
- Schematic capture and multilayer PCB layout (HDI, high-speed, mixed-signal, RF).
- Stack-up design aligned with manufacturer capabilities.
- Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT).
- BOM optimization and vendor guidance.
Simulation & Compliance:
- Signal Integrity (SI), Power Integrity (PI), IRDROP, and Crosstalk Analysis.
- EMI/EMC modeling and compliance (IPC/FCC/CE).
- Thermal simulation for electronics and enclosures (Simcenter 3D).
- 3D solver-based impedance tuning and via optimization.
- Compliance-focused design for industrial, medical, and defense systems.
Secure-by-Design Engineering:
With knowledge in cybersecurity and digital forensics, I utilize secure hardware design methods to mitigate risks from physical attacks, such as side-channel and air-gap attacks, and to protect against unauthorized electromagnetic signals that hackers may use covertly. I help you design boards that are not just functional but also cyber-resilient and privacy-aware from day one.
Supporting Innovation & Strategic IP Protection:
Beyond technical execution, I collaborate with both startups and established companies to develop secure, innovative hardware architectures that strengthen their position through strategic intellectual property (IP) protection. Whether you're launching a new embedded product or updating existing hardware solutions, I help identify unique design attributes—such as low-EMI architecture, embedded edge security, or system-level innovation—to proactively support patentable features. This strategic guidance can help mitigate potential legal disputes during mass-market deployment and enhance investor confidence by highlighting clear, defensible innovation. By integrating hardware design closely with IP considerations early in the project, I help build legally robust, commercially differentiated products that are attractive to future stakeholders and investors.
Proven Experience, Patents & Recognition:
I have successfully led and contributed to mission-critical projects across sectors, including secure storage, medical electronics, embedded AI systems, and RF-powered IoT platforms. A cornerstone example of my innovation is my engineering leadership in developing the X-PHY AI Cybersecure SSD, a globally recognized hardware-based solution for ransomware defense. My architectural and system-level contributions to this project are documented in various patents (refer to my ORCID profile), outlining novel mechanisms for real-time data protection and embedded firmware threat detection. This project earned international recognition, including the 2023 WIPO Global Awards for "AI-embedded hardware cybersecurity solutions." These achievements demonstrate not only my technical proficiency but also my ability to transform advanced hardware concepts into defensible intellectual property and commercially viable solutions. You can explore my full professional background, detailed work history, and further contributions on my ORCID: 0009-0001-3339-3037, showcasing a comprehensive record of my research activities and professional accomplishments.
I bring a proven track record of innovation and rigorous design to every engagement, helping clients build differentiated products and secure a competitive advantage through strategic hardware architecture and IP strategy.
Tools & Platforms:
- **EDA:** Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or OrCAD.
- **Simulation:** Siemens HyperLynx (SI/PI/EMI), Simcenter 3D (Thermal), LTspice.
- **3D Integration:** MCAD-aware layout for enclosure fit and thermal path optimization.
Value I Deliver:
My approach ensures first-pass design success, helping clients reduce costs, avoid board re-spins, and meet time-to-market targets. I also advise on selecting PCB manufacturers, optimizing stack-up, and managing transitions from prototypes to commercial and mass production. I integrate both engineering and business requirements to deliver complete, production-ready hardware platforms.
If you’re looking for more than just a PCB layout—someone who can architect, secure, and deliver reliable hardware from concept to completion—there's no doubt I am the right candidate.
