PCB Projects — In Progress

I'm currently working through a structured KiCad learning roadmap — schematic capture, footprint libraries, DRC/ERC, and design for manufacture. My first real boards will be fabricated via JLCPCB and added here once complete.

KiCad fundamentals — schematics, symbols, footprints (in progress)
ESP32-C3 breakout board — first layout & routing practice
Cat wearable PCB — moving from breadboard to custom board
JLCPCB fabrication & bring-up testing
Multi-layer & mixed-signal design

Background

About Me

I'm Faiq, an Embedded Electronics Engineer currently pursuing my Master's in Control, Microsystems & Microelectronics at Universität Bremen, Germany.

Before my Master's, I have experience of developing production IoT firmware on STM32, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi — writing everything in C/C++ and shipping real hardware to clients.

I'm actively looking for a Werkstudent position in embedded software, firmware, or electronics development in the Bremen/Hamburg region. I enjoy working close to the hardware — bare-metal drivers, RTOS tasks
