Electrical Engineer – Electronic Design & IC Packaging
Below are some of my recent designs. For IP protection, additional information on designs have been password protected, layouts have been pixelated, and branding blurred. For fear of my life, only public information and photos have been included on the Tesla designs. To learn more or book an interview shoot me a message below!

Autopilot Hardware Board
Designing IC Packaging for next generation Autopilot. Employing the most powerful consumer self driving hardware in the world to interface 8 externally facing cameras and run the Tesla-developed neural net.
Dojo Voltage Regulation Module
IC Packaging, PCB Design, for next generation Dojo VRM, the voltage regulation module for the 5th most powerful supercomputer in the world. 1000A/board, 0.86A/mm2, multi-tier vertical power, managed material transition (CTE), 12 independent phases.
PPG Heart Rate Sensor Wearable
Medical grade photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor to detect pulse on patients undergoing cardiac arrest. Integrated buck/boost, MCU, LiPo + charging unit, RF for Bluetooth & wifi.
Dual HD-SDI Input & Switch Board
This board was designed to take two incoming HD-SDI signals and translate them to 28 lines of parallel video data from one of the HD-SDI inputs as output.
Night Vision Lens Control Board
This board controls both the shutter and the focus motor driver of one of the night vision cameras.
Night HD-SDI Output Interface
This 12 layer PCB was designed to convert the parallel video data from a night vision camera to an SDI format using an FPGA.
Camera Link Interface Board
This board was designed to translate incoming information from a camera’s four LVDS data streams to 28 bits of LVCMOS/LVTTL data.
Wire Harness Testing Boards
This set of boards was designed to test wiring harnesses using a micro-USB to I2C and I2C GPIO expanders with a variety of receptacles for common headers.
