Hi, Mark here,

​

​

​Born in 1983 I grew up with the arising of electronics and computers... and K.I.T.T. of course.

Thinking back, things were decided at age 5. I couldn't kept myself from taking devices apart which was "painful" (i.e. expensive) for my parents - and for myself, litterally: i got twice an electric shock. Hello Electroboom, your unknown padawan is here!

Nevertheless I ended up studying electrical engineering.
Developing electronics and software is my passion.

 

​Education
 

Technicien Supérieur en électronique (BTS EN), Toulouse, France.
Electrical Engineering B.Sc., Furtwangen University, Germany.

 

Work experience
 

It actually started while I was a teenager in the late 90s at a local little engineering office.
For quite some years I did THT and SMD production and, with growing knowledge, debugging and repair.
 

The big start was 2010 after my studies as FPGA and microcontroller firmware developer.
Developing for medical devices, I had to get an in depth knowledge of FPGAs to be able to achieve the high speed requirements. We used Xilinx FPGAs and its ISE ecosystem.
Alongside I also developed firmware for various 8 and 32 bit microcontroller in C and assembly. Hardware debugging  was also part of my tasks as I brought life into it. This gave me insights and knowledge in high speed PCB design.

A couple of years later I was in more generic positions, for various fields like musik and biotech industry, designing hardware systems - both circuit and PCB design using Altium Designer and LT SPICE for simulation - micrcontroller firmware and some repair.
