Alessandro L.

I'm an expert electronic engineer, I've worked in three different London startups in the past 6 years, and I have a PhD in electronic engineering. Over the years, I built up a lot of experience in various electric and electronic fields. Now I'm just starting my freelance career, so contact me for all sorts of electronic projects, the more challenging, the better. I have experience in wearables, IoT, wireless sensor networks, long-range wireless systems, ultra-low-power electronics, energy harvesting, industrial and power electronics, and much more. I have a deep knowledge of microcontrollers and SoC of many brands, and I can write firmware for prototypes. Find below a more detailed list of skills: – 10 years embedded systems design experience in a wide range of applications: wearables, wireless sensor networks, energy harvesting, automation. – Extensive knowledge of MCUs and SoC (BLE, Wifi, LowPAN, Zigbee), MEMS, SMPS, GPS, RFID, sensors, actuators, motors, primary and secondary batteries. – Design of production testing Jigs, design for manufacturing, EMC compliance and CE marking, supply chain management, production line direct experience (Shenzhen, Taipei). – Strong background in ultra-low-power systems, miniaturization and Energy Harvesting power supply. – PCB editing (Altium, Eagle, Cadence), multilayer and flexible PCB, RF optimisation, antenna placement and antenna tuning through Vector Network Analyser (BLE, Sub GHz). – Wide laboratory experience in electronic fast prototyping (SMT soldering: 0201, 0.4mm pitch SMAs), circuit debugging and electronic measurement instrumentation. – Extended knowledge of the photovoltaic technology: mass power generation and micro generation for energy harvesting. – Extended experience with other forms of energy harvesting as MFC (Microbial Fuel Cell), vibrational, thermal, etc... – IC design using the most common electronic CADs
