My service COMPLETE PCB is dedicated to working at the boundary of applied physics while
balancing cutting-edge technology with environmental responsibility
Innovative Sustainable Electronics
Innovative Product Development
From concept to creation, I specialize in supporting the development of cutting-edge electronics for new inventions and re-designs in various industries including:
- physics lab equipment - magnetoencephalography [MEG] (kernel)
- wearable - science & medical - neuroscience (kernel)
- ASIC encapsulation substrate for BGA & wire-bonding - neuro imaging (kernel)
- 3-phase motor control HV & HC - aerospace , AUV (Safran, Barber Nichols, Blue Canyon, NASA, ISS)
- mission-critical designs - medical & rocket motor control (Fresenius, ULA, NASA, Relativity Space)
- hybrid-electric vehicle charging systems - automotive (Ford)
- dissolvable biodegradable substrates - tech toys (Little Squiggle)
- high speed data - datacenter hardware (Western Digital, Liqid, Relativity Space)
- ground-up Gen Two re-designs - resolving nuanced issues across teams
experience to expertise
- flex & rigid flex best practices
- connectorized FPGA control, FPGA fanout
- length matching - to pico seconds, high giga-hertz speeds
- ADC & DAC, power supply design

- library managment, managing component obsolescense
eco-friendly & biodegradable design
I've been pioneering the use of biodegradable materials in electronics, designing with new flax based substrates that safely dissolve and reintegrate into the ecosystem at the end of life. This groundbreaking approach aligns with my commitment to a greener planet.
I design with elegance, longevity, efficiency, and environmental impact in mind, prioritizing materials and methods that reduce waste and keep the product in service longer, with low to zero impact at the end of the product's life as a goal.
Simply choosing ROHS is a start but there's much more we can do to make a positive impact. JIVA Materials Ltd has made a technological leap using biodegradable materials.
I also use Murata parts whenever possible for their strong stance against any military use of their products. I have a NO WEAPONS policy.
I also direct/produce impactful documentary style videos
with engineering firms that I do engineering work for:
Virgin Orbit partner
In collaboration with the sales team at BNI I pitched this video idea to the two CEOs who are featured in this video. They agreed to work with me to direct a short intro video to what working with my client BNI is like for a deep business to business partnership.
engineering culture
In collaboration with the HR team at BNI I pitched this video idea to the the leadership who were looking to expand the company and transfer half a century of deep knowledge to the next generation. We decided that showing off some of the more adventurous and ambitious team members enjoying the best of Colorado would have a positive impact. *music by Eric Elvendahl
inventor focus
One of the key engineers at BNI Jeff Knoall and I often shared stories of pushing the limits in the outdoors, so I pitched this video idea to show off one of the people you will work with when you partner with BNI. Rather than try to sell only the technical expertise, most people are making a social decision when they award a contract. The team are deeply capable engineers but they also live inspiring and enthusiastic lives.
new additive manufacturing
Our second inventor focus was to highlight the young talent BNI was already attracting to solve important engineering challenges at the edge of human ability using super alloys and the latest 3D printing technology, featuring Austin Feathers who later worked for Ursa Major rocket company
