The background

Electronics runs in the family. Four generations of electrical professionals — going back to when the discipline was still developing. Growing up surrounded by circuits, instruments, and the language of engineering wasn't a path I chose. It was just the air in the room.

The professional turning point was ETH Zurich — consistently ranked among the world's top 5 technical universities. I led hardware development on a medical device project taken through full IVD certification under ISO 61010. Real regulatory stakes. No margin for guessing on compliance.

That project made one thing clear: EMC failures are never magic. They are always cause and effect. Once you understand the physics behind why boards fail, you can design those failures out before a test chamber ever confirms them.

That's the only reason Fresu Electronics exists.

How Dario can help

Two ways in. One clear direction.

Pick the path that fits where you are right now.

For hardware companies
EMC Design Audit

Pre-certification design review for hardware teams with a compliance deadline. Full board audit — schematics, stackup, PDN, signal paths — with a written findings report, prioritised fixes, and a 60-minute debrief with your team.

See how it works
Work with Dario

Have a compliance deadline? Start here.

Hardware team under test pressure? Apply for the free 5-session EMC Architecture Review — Dario maps your risk exposure before you walk into the lab. Individual engineer? The courses give you the same framework, at your own pace.
