If you’ve ever had a board fail on power-up, spent hours debugging a layout that “should work,” or run into a supplier problem just before a deadline—you already know this isn’t just about theory. It’s about judgment, decisions, and real-world constraints.

Designing Electronics That Work is a guide to all the practical things you won’t find in a typical electronics textbook. It’s written for people who already know a little—maybe a lot—about circuits, but want to move faster, make fewer mistakes, and ship working hardware with more confidence.
