Summary
Felipe De Carvalho is a director-level electronics and embedded systems expert with over a decade of hands-on experience turning research-grade concepts into commercially viable medical, industrial, and photonics products. He leads Horizon Technology Consulting to deliver end-to-end hardware and firmware solutions, combining multi-layer rigid/flex PCB design, low-power analog and high-speed digital systems, and embedded C/ARM firmware. His background spans academic neuroscience research—where he helped secure over £10M in funding and authored peer-reviewed work—to senior engineering roles in industry, giving him a rare perspective on regulatory pathways (IEC 60601, ISO13485) and manufacturability. Felipe is known for rapid proof-of-concept turnarounds, cost-optimization strategies, and practical integration of photonics and laser modules into complex instruments. He consistently bridges cross-functional teams and international stakeholders to take products from lab prototypes through regulatory approval to production. Based in the UK, he blends deep technical depth with commercial pragmatism to de-risk development of specialized electronic systems.
