I started individual consultancy after a long career in corporate, scientific research and start-up jobs. Consultancy gives the opportunity to contribute where I add the most value.
I started out in optics, laser physics, fiber optics, optical communications, then laser systems. Dealing with control of laser systems I had to relearn electronics and board design. Laser dynamic happens on µs timescale, so the control was FPGA based.
There exists a gap between the electronics and optics disciplines. I am breaching that gap.
