Product Development & Hardware Design Consultant | Electrical Engineer

Hi there,

I'm an Engineering Geek by profession and passion. I have over 5years experience in designing electronic products, circuits and in PCB design.

My specialisation is in
-- Digital and Analog hardware design for consumer products in Healthcare, IoT, Sports, Finance and Energy sectors with Design for Manufacturability in mind.
-- High-speed PCB design with EMC design constraints in mind for regulatory compliance certifications like FCC, CE, UL etc.
-- Embedded Firmware design with expertise in Atmel/Microchip(AVR, ARM), Nordic, ESP platforms.
-- Expertise in BLE 4, BLE 5, WiFi, NFC Firmware and hardware development in the wireless domain.
-- Designing small factor and extremely low power battery powered devices.
-- Sourcing of components and parts.
-- Technical Documentation.

I was the Co-Founder and Engineering Lead of ACPAD Instruments(A music-tech startup based out of Berlin and Mumbai).
Our product is a thin, removable interface that fits on any acoustic guitar and allows the musician to play other instruments, trigger effects, and record loops - right at your fingertips. This allows musicians to unleash their creativity and re-imagine the way they create their music. It's called ACPAD. You can Google about it. There are enough videos of it online.

We raised over $300,000 via Kickstarter. Since going into mass production, we have shipped our product to customers in 80+ countries.

I have handled the hardware development for ACPAD product right from its Proof of concept stage to a mass manufacturable product. Hence I have been through multiple cycles of
-- Product Concept Development,
-- Electrical and mechanical prototyping,
-- Multiple quick product iteration based on user feedback
-- Minimum viable Product Creation
-- Design for manufacturability and selecting right components keeping production in mind
-- Designing testing jigs and assembly guides
-- Setting up the production line
