Professional Summary Electronics hardware specialist with 15 years of experience working in telecommunications, medical devices, aviation and aerospace, military, maritime, electronics manufacturing, and many other sectors. Experienced in developing circuits, troubleshooting, designing, and testing electronic systems. Skilled in providing technical support and training, solving complex problems, and developing innovative solutions to improve the performance of production, products and test equipment. Particularly focused on optimizing designs and procedures for manufacturability, repairability, and stability, with a strong emphasis on the collection and analysis of available data. Frequently ensured seamless integration between production, hardware, software, and mechanical design teams. Whenever possible, I use open-source software for content creation, organization, and dissemination of knowledge inclusively and sustainably. For example, I create work instructions and project documentation using software just like DopkuWiki, Kicad Interactive BOM List, Falstad's Circuit Simulator facilitating interactive learning and supporting team members and client teams in managing the maintenance of test equipment and calibration tasks. I thrive in work environments where I have the autonomy to improve processes around product research and design, and service delivery. I am passionate about fostering strong collaborations for efficient project execution and do this through activities such as cross-functional workshops and integrated project meetings. In addition to IT and computing skills, I demonstrate proficiency in Python and C programming, focusing on developing embedded software and data analysis capabilities in conjunction with my hardware expertise. Leadership skills have been honed through supervisory roles and entrepreneurial activities, currently overseeing the work of a Production Support Technician. In this role, I manage test equipment maintenance and calibration tasks, providing technical support for production, research teams, and third-party engineers. Committed to continuous improvement, excellent service delivery, and efficient project execution.
