Embedded systems, FPGA boards, and hardware prototypes

Hardware design that moves cleanly from idea to working board.

Oak Development Technologies builds the kind of electronics that survive bring-up: sensible architecture, readable schematics, manufacturable layouts, and firmware-aware design decisions.

What I Do

Boards for teams that need engineering judgment, not decoration.

01

Embedded Architecture

Microcontroller and FPGA system planning, interface selection, power budgets, component tradeoffs, and design-for-test strategy.

02

Schematic and PCB Design

Clear schematics, compact layouts, signal integrity awareness, manufacturing outputs, and board spins that are set up to debug.

03

Prototype Bring-Up

Bench validation, firmware collaboration, hardware fault isolation, board rework plans, and notes your future self can trust.

Proof On The Bench

Open hardware boards with real constraints.

Development boards are small, unforgiving systems. They show whether the designer understands power, pins, packaging, docs, and how engineers actually evaluate a part.

How Projects Work

Enough process to protect the work. No ceremony for its own sake.

Scope the risk

Define the interfaces, unknowns, volumes, manufacturing assumptions, and where a prototype needs to be honest.

Design for bring-up

Build in test points, debug headers, measurement access, and design notes so the first board can teach us quickly.

Iterate with evidence

Use bench results, firmware feedback, and manufacturing constraints to decide what changes on the next revision.

Project Interest

Tell me what you are building.

Share the shape of the project, the timeline, and what part of the hardware is keeping you up at night. Your message lands in a private D1 database for follow-up.
