An experienced RF engineer, working directly with you

I’m a lead RF systems engineer in the space industry. Over seven years in space and defense, I’ve designed RF front ends from L- to Ku-band, led architecture trades and link budgets for proposals, and taken hardware from simulation through procurement and flight test.

Before engineering, I spent nine years in operations and supply-chain planning at large semiconductor and consumer-electronics companies. That’s why I think about schedule, cost and part availability as much as noise figure, and why proposals from JAMMtronics come with a fixed scope and a clear plan.

I started JAMMtronics to give smaller teams access to the same rigor that big programs rely on: written requirements, review gates, traceable decisions and designs verified in simulation before anything is fabricated. I build with AI coding agents under written specs, review gates and automated tests, which is how one engineer can deliver the hardware, the firmware and the app, without cutting corners.

Selected experience

• RF architecture and link budgets for high-stakes proposals, presented to customers as the technical authority
• L-, S-, C- and Ku-band front ends, from simulation through procurement and flight test
• Digital beamforming and phased-array hardware, including a 1:16 distribution network at 35 dB gain and 40 A
• RF-over-fiber trade studies for ground-to-satellite links
• STM32 and bare-metal firmware for AGC control and T/R switching
• A web-based data-processing tool that cut review time from 60 minutes to 1, saving about 1,500 engineering hours
• Two iOS/Android apps (TymTracker and InVinetory), a custom e-commerce platform and several websites, built and running in production
• Embedded designs from an ESP32-S3 mains controller to an AD9361 + Zynq software-defined receiver
