ECAD library manager · hardware & software engineer
From the land pattern up.
I am the ECAD Library Manager for Optimum Design Associates, an Emerald Technologies company: the PCB design and signal-integrity house behind high-speed, RF and mixed-signal boards for test and measurement, semiconductor, satcom, aerospace and defense, medical, industrial and automotive customers, Amazon, Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, Siemens and Keysight among them. The rest of the time I run Mason Parrone LLC: PCB libraries and layout, embedded control electronics, desktop software, and the web integrations that connect hardware businesses to the tools they already use. I also built and run SolarPowerHome.co and am building PayMyTeacher.com.
Sites
Things I run on the internet.
Each one is a real business or product, not a demo. Built, deployed and operated by me, and listed here in the order they'll matter to most people.
Mason Parrone LLC
What I take on.
Fixed-scope engagements with a documented handoff at the end. If your problem sits between a circuit board and a website, it's probably in this list.
Projects
Hardware, software, and the house.
Client work is described at whatever level the client allows. Some entries are placeholders on purpose; ask me about them.
Nothing matches that combination of tags. Clear one.
Standards & community
The rules the industry builds to.
Library work only pays off when everyone builds the same way. Part of my job is writing that way down.
