Professional Profile

Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduate with proven expertise in analysing electrical and electronic circuits and PCB designs using simulation software such as Multisim, Proteus, Altium and KiCad. I design analogue and digital circuits, signal amplification and filtering, switch-mode power supplies, and perform PCB reverse engineering.

I am proficient in technical drawings and schematics using AutoCAD Electrical, PC Schematics and EPLAN, and I create and read power distribution and pneumatic schemes. I design and build electrical panels, then program and commission the control systems — backed by strong research, development and project-management skills.

Hall-effect EC fan signal amplifier PCB
PCB Design

EC Fan Hall-Effect Signal Amplifier

Custom KiCad-designed PCB that conditions and amplifies the Hall-effect tachometer feedback from an EC fan. A 24 V supply is regulated to 5 V (LM7805) and an LM358 op-amp stage with gain/offset trimming delivers a clean signal to the controller. Designed at ENVAIR Technology.

RS485 communication card PCB layout
Communications

RS-485 Communication Card

Custom serial communication interface built around a PIC microcontroller and an RS-485 transceiver, providing robust half-duplex differential comms over long distances with USB connectivity, keypad input, status LEDs and an in-circuit programming header — ideal for Modbus/RS-485 device networks.

Engineering Tools

A set of interactive electrical & electronics calculators I built for everyday design work — standard resistor selection, voltage/current dividers, BJT switch design, RC filter sizing and BS 7671 cable sizing / voltage drop. All calculations run instantly in your browser.

Nearest Standard Resistor

Enter a target resistance and the calculator returns the closest value in the selected E-series, with the percentage error.

4-Band Resistor Colour Code

Select the colour of each band to decode the resistance and tolerance.

Voltage Divider

Vout = Vin · R2 / (R1 + R2). Enter the supply and both resistors.

Current Divider

Two resistors in parallel. I1 = Itot · R2/(R1+R2), I2 = Itot · R1/(R1+R2).

BJT (NPN) as a Switch

Sizes the base resistor to drive an NPN transistor into saturation for a given load. Uses an overdrive factor for reliable switching.

RC Low-Pass Filter

First-order RC filter. fc = 1 / (2·π·R·C). Leave one field blank to solve for it.

Cable Sizing & Voltage Drop

BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 flat twin & earth (copper, 70°C PVC). Recommends the smallest cable that carries the load and stays within the voltage-drop limit. VD = (mV/A/m × Ib × L) / 1000.
