DC–DC converter design from first principles.
Schematic → Magnetics → Layout → Test.

Non-synchronous boost converter built around the LM3478QM current-mode PWM controller. Ground plane split isolates power and signal returns. Feedback trace routed away from the switching node to prevent noise injection into the Type II compensation network.
Power electronics hardware engineer with a deep focus on DC–DC converter design. Every project here is designed end-to-end: topology selection, magnetics, compensation loop analysis, PCB layout, and bench validation.
My interest isn't just a working converter — it's a publishable, reproducible, well-documented design that another engineer can learn from. The schematic is not the finish line; the layout is where the real engineering happens.
Based in Fort Collins, Colorado. Working in power electronics hardware. When I'm not routing PCBs, I'm training for Colorado 14ers or staring at switching waveforms on a scope.
