About Arnaud

Architect / Engineer in electronics and embedded systems, I have been supporting my clients for over 10 years in the design of electronic products, from hardware and firmware to industrialization and production.

With a PhD and extensive experience on various projects, I work in demanding environments such as IoT, medical, automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial systems.

My scope of intervention covers the entire system:

• Electronic and embedded architecture
• Hardware design and PCB routing
• Embedded firmware development in C/C++
• Connectivity and communicating systems
• Mobile application integration
• Validation, reliability, and industrialization

In electronic design, I address a wide range of issues, from sensor conditioning and low-noise analog architectures to power systems and fast switching chargers.

In embedded firmware, I work on low-level development, software architecture, optimization, debugging, and the integration of signal processing on ARM microcontrollers (specifically STM32 and Nordic) or DSPs.

I also have solid experience in developing connected systems, particularly around Nordic platforms and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), as well as integrating human-machine interfaces and Android/iOS mobile applications for communicating products.

My approach is focused on overall system coherence, technical robustness, maintainability, and industrialization.
