πŸ”§ Electronic Technician | PCB Design & Signal Integrity Enthusiast

Hi there πŸ‘‹, I'm Malusi Tsoko

An Electronic Technician with 5+ years of hands-on industry experience, currently focused on PCB design, signal integrity, and high-speed digital systems.

I work closely with production and service teams to ensure products meet strict electrical and manufacturing specifications, while continuously sharpening my skills in PCB design, signal integrity, and high-speed system design.


πŸš€ Current Focus

  • Applying signal integrity principles (impedance control, return paths, crosstalk reduction) in PCB layouts
  • Learning from industry experts like Eric Bogatin (Signal Integrity)
  • Currently studying High-Speed PCB Design
  • Building practical projects in KiCad involving differential pairs, length matching, and mixed-signal constraints

🧠 Skills & Tools
