Devaugn Ragan

I design circuit boards, embedded systems, and RF hardware, from schematic to a working board on the bench.

What I work on

PCB design

Multi-layer boards in KiCad: stackups, power integrity, mixed-signal layout, and fab-ready outputs.

RF & microwave

Sensor characterization, antenna simulation, and software-defined radio.

Embedded & FPGA

Microcontroller firmware, VHDL, and Zynq-based systems running embedded Linux.

Signal processing

Analog conditioning through to real-time processing in C++ and Python.

Selected side projects

PCB · Power

Custom FPGA carrier board

A 4-layer carrier for a Zynq module with Power-over-Ethernet, isolated CAN, and gigabit Ethernet.

Tooling

Automated board pipeline

Circuits described in code, turned into KiCad layouts, run through design checks, and exported as fab files.

Instruments

Bench test equipment

A precision LC meter and other homemade instruments for characterizing components.

Wireless

Low-power sensor network

A group of microcontroller nodes with long-range LoRa radio links and over-the-air updates.

RF

Software-defined radio lab

Receiving and decoding aircraft, marine, and ISM-band signals with SDR hardware.

Wearable

Motion-sensing rep counter

A small battery-powered device that counts exercise reps, with its own custom board.

Contact

Always happy to talk hardware. A resume is available on request.
