Hello. My name is David. LinkedIn
I have been running Cyber City Circuits since 2018 in Augusta, Ga. We do a lot of PCB Assembly. We have three pick-and-place machines and can stay busy with them from time to time. It is feast or famine, am I right?
I also do a bit of PCB design work. Often, it is for people who already have a proof of concept with some Adafruit boards or such, and need someone to make it into a functional PCB for their product. It is a lot of fun.
I also write for Digikey's industry magazine. History of engineering kind of articles. It's all very dense material, and I imagine some are tough to get through. Expect to sit down for at least half an hour if you're going to read the Wildman Whitehouse article, for example. (https://cybercitycircuits.com/retro-electro-the-little-told-history-of-electronics/)
I specialize in making electronic PCB Event Badges. (www.BadgesBadgesBadges.com) While PCB Assembly and prototyping, testing, QC, etc., are the moneymakers, badges accounted for a large portion of revenue last year.
I have run many soldering workshops since 2019, teaching over 1,000 people in that time. I can teach up to 150 people in one day. I am the first person in US history to teach a US First Lady how to solder. Jill Biden crashed a summer camp I was teaching in the summer of 2023. That was pretty neat. If you know someone interested in having a large workshop, it is a traveling show.
I also offer a free 30-minute live one-on-one PCB DFM review if anyone here is interested. There is no obligation, and I may be able to save you money on your next production run.
Thank you for your time.
