Professional Career

During my professional career, I worked for companies such as Siemens, Racal-Redac, Thesys, Analogy, Aptix, Temento, and Future Electronics. In these roles, I was involved in both development and customer support activities across multiple disciplines.

• Development of several hardware modules and ASICs
• Development of various design and verification software tools for FPGA and hardware development, marketed worldwide
• Application engineer for circuit synthesis
• Application engineer for electronic component distribution
• Application engineer for analog simulation
• Successfully certified as an ARM Accredited Engineer
• Establishment of a development laboratory for industrial automation

Embedded Projects

• Longwave receiver including FSK demodulation and filtering implemented in PSoC
• Capacitive sensor for detecting ice, water, and air content in a container
• RGB color correction implemented on an 8-bit controller using custom mathematical algorithms. The same functionality would normally require floating-point calculations.
• Control of a brushless DC motor using space vector modulation on an 8-bit controller — previously considered impossible
• Graphics application with TouchGFX for ST
• Control unit for a medical application


Projects with Windows Apps

• Hardware optimization software for FPGA prototyping systems
• Circuit synthesis and test vector generation software for analyzing an ASIC library for simulator sign-off approval for Cadence, Mentor, Viewlogic, and Veribest simulators
• Management software for holiday apartments
• Magnetic field calculation of superimposed magnetic fields based on the Biot–Savart law
• Control software for the motor controller mentioned above, including real-time measurement
