Brian Mukoya
@brianmukoya
Electrical Engineer designing power systems and embedded hardware; authored reference solutions and flagged 30+ unsafe electrical designs.
What I'm looking for
As an Electrical Design Engineer and Power Systems Consultant, I author electrical design scenarios for 11kV/415V distribution upgrades, from requirements through design review. I write reference solutions covering load flow, short-circuit studies, conductor sizing, and protection coordination.
I grade contractor submittals for technical accuracy and standards compliance, and flagged 30+ designs that were plausible but would fail in practice. I also built MATLAB/Simulink models for power system stability and used ETAP for coordination curves, reducing design review time by 35%.
At IoT Solutions, I designed STM32- and ESP32-based energy metering boards and low-power sensor nodes, taking embedded hardware from requirements through EVT/DVT. I designed 4-layer PCBs in Altium Designer and worked on analog front-ends and buck-boost power supplies.
I documented design decisions, trade-offs, and failure modes, and led board bring-up and testing. I’m seeking to apply my engineering experience to build frontier AI evaluation data for AfterQuery.
