About

Hi, I'm Dean.

Electronics engineer, PCB designer, and the only person who'll touch your project from first sketch to bring-up.

I'm Dean Kovacs — an electronics engineer focused on PCB design. I turn ideas into clean, production-ready circuit boards. From schematic to layout to bring-up on the bench, the work is mine end-to-end. No hand-offs. No "the layout person will figure it out."

Layer One PCB is what I do full-time. Over 250 boards designed and shipped. Hardware that lives in workshops, products, and labs across Europe and beyond.

What I believe.

Three rules I won't break.

Belief 01

Ownership beats handoff.

One person, schematic to test. Mistakes don't fall through cracks because there are no cracks.

Belief 02

Manufacturable beats clever.

If a fab can't build it, a customer can't buy it. Cleverness is the prize, not the brief.

Belief 03

The bench is the truth.

Simulations help. Real boards on real benches decide. Ship boards that have been measured, not just modelled.

Belief 04

Files are yours.

You get the native project, the gerbers, the BOM, the CPL, and the design notes. The work is yours forever.

"I'd rather you cancel the project after schematic review than discover the problem at the second prototype run."
