Five ways a job starts

Ordered by how little it costs to try me. Every one ends in writing — a findings document, or a full manufacturing package — and any design files delivered are native to the EDA tool you use, and yours outright. Where a claim can be checked against something public, the link is right on the card.

SVC-01

Pre-fab design review

most reviews back in 24–48h

A second set of eyes on your board before you spend money at the fab. A review is a document — and you can read the ones my own board went through before you pay for one.

  • DRC / ERC / DFM check against your fab's real capability sheet
  • Footprint & part sanity pass — stock, lifecycle, polarity, pin-1, keep-outs
  • Written findings ranked by severity, with a concrete recommendation on each

SVC-02

Conversion & redraw

quoted per sheet count

A design that only exists as a PDF, DXF, image or an old project, redrawn as a clean, editable project in the EDA tool your team uses.

  • Redrawn sheet by sheet with checked symbols and footprints — not auto-traced
  • ERC-clean, with a parity pass against the original before hand-off
  • Delivered as the full package: source files, PDF schematic, project-local libraries
SVC-03

Debug & bring-up help

first read of your files within a day

The board is back from the fab and won't enumerate, keeps resetting, or runs hot. Worked from your files, photos and guided bench measurements.

  • A staged bring-up plan — unpowered checks, current-limited first power, rails, buses, firmware
  • USB enumeration, brownout and reset-loop diagnosis against the schematic
  • Written findings with the fix — and the Rev-B change if the copper is at fault

How I approach it

SVC-04

New board, idea to fab

small boards in days, not weeks

From a concept, breadboard prototype, or draft schematic to a manufacturing-ready project.

  • Schematic capture + component selection from in-stock LCSC / Digi-Key parts
  • Clean 2-layer & 4-layer layout — ESP32 and STM32, sensors, USB-C, protected power, isolated I/O
  • Full JLCPCB / PCBWay package: Gerbers, drill, BOM with LCSC / Digi-Key part numbers, CPL, PDF schematic, 3D render

A finished one, published in full

SVC-05

Fix, revise & finish

scoped and quoted up front

Work inside your existing project, in your tool, without breaking what already works.

  • Schematic edits, re-routes, and Rev-B board revisions
  • Power & thermal fixes — pours, thermal vias, trace widths sized to current
  • Half-finished projects taken through to a complete manufacturing package

What my Rev-B notes look like

What I turn down

Knowing where the line sits is part of the service — if your board is on the far side of it, you will hear that in the quote rather than halfway through.

  • Mains-voltage design
  • Antenna design — pre-certified modules laid out to the vendor's rules instead
  • Controlled impedance beyond a USB 2.0 pair
  • BGA and HDI — blind and buried vias, via-in-pad
  • Precision analog — low-noise instrumentation and sub-millivolt front ends
  • Motor power stages
  • Medical and avionics
  • Firmware ownership — enough to bring a board up, not enough to ship your product

Ready when you are

The email opens with the four questions a quote needs already in it — what the board does, target fab and quantity, files you have, and the deadline.

Send the brief
  1. 01Send the briefWhat the board does, your target fab, and any files you already have — a paragraph is enough to start.
  2. 02Fixed quote in 24hScope, price, and timeline in writing. NDA signed first if your project needs one.
  3. 03Contract, then workA signed contract with the money-back guarantee written in: if delivery misses the agreed scope, you get a refund. Then the board gets built.
