Skills & Education

A snapshot of my technical skills, certifications and formal education.

Technical Toolbox

Below is a list of the main technologies and tools I have been using throughout my career. More info here: work-experience and in Education section below.

What makes me different: I work across the full stack – from silicon to cloud. Most CTOs specialise in software or hardware. I bridge both, and I’ve mass-manufactured products deployed in the field globally.

Product Development & Manufacturing: Prototype to production • DFM (Design for Manufacturing) • BOM optimisation • Supply chain setup (China, Taiwan, Thailand) • Contract manufacturer selection & audits • EVT/DVT/PVT • Production testing & automation • Traceability & labelling

Regulatory Compliance & Certification: CE • UKCA • FCC • IEC 62368-1 (safety) • Bluetooth SIG (BQB) • EMC testing

Hardware & Electronics: PCB design • Low power design • Battery systems (Li-ion, alkaline, solar) • MEMS sensors • Actuators • Analog & digital interfaces • EMC • Mechanical integration

Embedded Systems: C • Bare metal • STM32 • Nordic nRF52 • I2C • SPI • UART • RS485 • Modbus RTU

Wireless & Connectivity: LoRa/LoRaWAN • Semtech transceivers • Bluetooth Low Energy • RF design • Antenna matching

Sensors & Edge Intelligence: Environmental monitoring • Motion sensing • Agricultural & weather station systems • Biometric (ECG, PPG, HRV, GSR) • Spectral analysis

Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS (EC2, EBS, S3, RDS, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFormation, CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, DMS, ECR, SAM, IAM, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, etc.) • Cloudflare • Docker • REST APIs • FastAPI • Serverless architecture • CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, AWS native, custom scripts)

Data, Machine Learning & AI: Python • TensorFlow • Keras • scikit-learn • Pandas • NumPy • SQL • Custom predictive models • LLM integration (Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter) • Custom MCP servers • AI-augmented workflows

Full Stack Software: Laravel • PHP • JavaScript • Vue.js • HTML/CSS • MySQL • JWT • WordPress

Tools & Ways of Working: Git • GitHub • Bitbucket • Jira • Confluence • ClickUp • Aha! • Asana • Agile/Scrum

Earlier in my career: ASIC design • FPGA • VHDL • Verilog • SystemVerilog • GPU architecture (PowerVR) • Mobile app development (Objective-C, Swift)
