¡Hola! I'm an Electronics, FPGA Design and Embedded Software Engineer looking for job opportunities with a work visa sponsorship or a freelance/remote job.

I have experience with SystemVerilog hardware description language for RTL design and verification, C programming language and RTOS for microcontrollers. I can develop desktop applications for Linux in Qt/C++ and for Windows in C#. My experience includes working with STM32, XMOS, NIOS, NXP, AVR microcontrollers and Altera, Xilinx, GoWin FPGA microchips. I can design, routing and soldering electronic circuits.

I have extensive experience in EMC and troubleshooting of electronic boards. My job always requires me to have strong attention to detail and problem-solving abilities.

I have worked with radars and nondestructive testing systems, ultrasonic phased arrays, EDM and CNC machines, electrical substations, asynchronous, stepper and servo motors, Ethernet protocols (UDP/IP, ARP, GOOSE/GSE), USB 3.0/2.0 controllers, DSP (FIR, CIC, FFT, PSK modulation), CAN, CANopen, PCI, Avalon bus, AXI bus, MIL-STD-1553B, ARINC 429, UART, ModBus RTU, I2C, SPI and SerDes LVDS, SDRAM.

I am always interested in learning new technologies, new programs and new fields of knowledge independently that are needed for work.

My main achievements include:

- A prototype of a mechanical radar system where I created firmware for FPGA and programs for microcontrollers and computers. I emitted, received and processed radiolocation signals. I implemented a field oriented control (vector control) for electric motors using a Sin-Cos encoder and PWM. I depicted radiolocation images with MatLab.
- A prototype of an ultrasonic phased array system where I developed FPGA design, a microcontroller program and a debug program for PC. I formed an ultrasonic beam and calculated a synthetic aperture for a 32-elements linear array of transducers.
- A spark cutting 4-axis multipass CNC machine where I developed circuit design, FPGA and microcontroller programs as well as a user interface for Linux.
- I have mastered the XMOS 16-cores processor that can replace FPGAs in some tasks.
