About Joseph
I am an Industrial Automation specialist transitioning into professional PCB Design and Hardware Development. With years of hands-on experience in PLC programming and building industrial control cabinets, I know exactly how to design robust hardware layouts optimized for harsh, noisy field environments.
I specialize in schematic capture, custom component library creation (2D/3D footprints), and multilayer PCB routing using modern EDA tools. My design focus includes microcontrollers (ESP32, STM32), isolated industrial I/Os, and reliable power filtering networks.
I am available for remote contract roles, library management, and hardware layout optimization. To ensure maximum technical precision, I prefer to communicate primarily in writing via chat or email using translation tools.
