End-to-end
product engineer.

Independent consultant who ships - outcomes, not hours. PCB through firmware, backend, enclosure and field support, delivered by one person who's done it all before.

§ 01 · Capabilities
10 disciplines · one engineer
A wide stack so you don't have to coordinate three vendors. Pick what's missing - or hand over the whole thing.
01

Electronics

Analog & mixed-signal design, power supplies, sensor front-ends, signal integrity.

02

PCB Design

Schematic capture, layout, DFM, EMC-aware routing. KiCad and Altium.

03

Firmware

Bare-metal, RTOS and embedded Linux. Drivers, BLE, USB, networking.

04

Product Design

From requirements to BOM. Architecture, trade-offs, vendor selection.

05

3D Modeling

Enclosures, mechanical parts, prototyping-ready CAD with print or mill in mind.

06

Backend

Device-facing services, telemetry pipelines, dashboards, REST and MQTT.

07

Prototyping

First-cut hardware in days, not weeks. Breadboards through to functional PoCs.

08

Integration

Tying hardware, firmware, cloud and tooling into a system that actually ships.

09

Troubleshooting

Bring-up, debug, root-cause. Scope in one hand, oscilloscope in the other.

10

Support

Sustaining engineering, field issues, revisions and long-tail maintenance.

§ 02 · Process
Five steps · weekly checkpoints
Same rhythm whether it's a board bring-up or a full product. You see progress every week, not at the end.
01

Listen

Constraints, deadlines, the real problem under the brief.

02

Scope

Clear deliverables, milestones, fixed-rate where it makes sense.

03

Build

Tight iterations. You see progress every week, not at the end.

04

Validate

Measured against requirements. Numbers, not adjectives.

05

Hand off

Documentation, sources, a path for the next person to pick it up.

Working hours

Independent product engineer based in Slovenia. A decade working across the whole stack of physical products- from PCB layout and embedded firmware up through backend services and 3D-printed enclosures. I help small teams ship without the cost of coordinating three vendors.

§ 05 · Contact
Brief in. Reply in 24h.

Got a board that won't boot, or an idea on a napkin?

Either way, send a few lines. I read every message myself and reply within one working day.
