Summary

Reliable employee with knowledge and experience across a wide range of fields. Creating new hardware designs with very short turn around times, for the last 2.5 years while supervising and motivating a very mixed team. Fast development times are also facilitated by good long term relationships to multiple vendors in the electronics field, from component manufacturers to PCB fabs and assembly houses.

Work History

Hardware Team Lead

Artisense GmbH
Munich
10.2019 - Current
  • Designed various data collection systems based on NVIDIA Jetson modules
  • Designed custom stereo camera system with IMU, connected to compute via a single FPD-Link cable (power and data)
  • Debugged electronics and low-level C software, especially during bringup
  • Responsible for overseeing electronics, FPGA, low level software (i.e. drivers, MCU, ...) and mechanics
  • Personally developed all electronics for these systems (schematic to PCB)
  • Manually assembled prototype PCBs
  • Developed and supported the development of Linux drivers for various sub systems
  • Found short term alternatives for parts that were unavailable due to the global chip shortage (e.g. by substituting FPGAs for microcontrollers or using analog circuitry instead of ICs)

Embedded Systems Engineer

Artisense GmbH
Munich
10.2018 - 10.2019
  • Collaborated with software and FPGA engineers to convert the original prototype into a proper embedded system
  • Developed electrical systems necessary for the conversion
  • Debugged software and electronics at signal level, analyzing performance and diagnosing faults - especially during bring-up
  • Performed low-level coding in C

Electrical Engineer

ProGlove
Munich
08.2017 - 11.2018
  • Developed electronics for a SoM based Android smart watch
  • Supported the software team in writing Linux drivers
  • Debugged low-level software and hardware issues
  • Worked out a flexible PCB assembly that eliminated a significant amount of labor during assembly of the gloves used with barcode scanners - this improved yield and decreased cost
  • Supported production team in development and setup of a custom gluing robot

Co-Founder/Co-Owner

Aesora
Solingen
09.2015 - 06.2017
  • Developed a LED UV lamp for surgery (electronics, mechanics, software)
  • Developed various cameras for recording surgeries
  • Developed a custom HD video recorder (4-ch HDMI input)
  • Developed a 12x12mm object tracking camera able to process 200x200 pixels at ~300fps

Student Associate

Heinrich Heine Universität
Düsseldorf
07.2012 - 05.2017
  • Was one of the core developers of the HHU Mediathek video streaming platform (live and recordings)
  • Was a camera operator for many lecture recording
  • Operated the video mixer and streaming equipment for most live events while usually directing 2-3 camera operators
  • Developed various sensor based device to help in data gathering for experiments - e.g. a device with multiple IMUs and contact less angle sensors used to record the movement of bikes during a study

Intern

HECTAS Gebäudedienste
Wuppertal
09.2011 - 10.2011
  • Installed software (server and client)
  • Installed hardware (computers and servers)
  • Documented and inventoried the network systems
  • Developed a more secure system for password system after finding problems with the previous architecture
  • Customer service/help desk

Student Volunteer

Trinity College School
Port Hope
