Hi, I'm Kirsch Mackey

For 10 years I struggled to learn Allegro and PSpice as a university undergraduate EE student. Then in 2014 I became a graduate teaching assistant who suddenly needed to teach undergraduate students how to use Allegro and PSpice to finish their PCB projects and to get their EE degrees.

Eventually I had to pick a research topic for my master's degree, so I learned to design switched-mode power supplies from scratch using the Allegro and PSpice software.

But learning Allegro/OrCAD from different (and OLD) website and books and trial and error was very challenging and took wayyy too long. So now as a professional electrical systems engineer, I want to show others how they can use this software to finish their projects in record time and with the greatest of ease.

I have taken up using OrCAD again!

by Benjamin Zuñiga - Power Electronics Engineer

"Hi Mackey, really your videos are very useful. I re-learned how to use the PCB editor. I was a user of OrCAD Layout, but when OrCad Layout had ended, I was so sad and became a user of Altium. But now with your tutorials, I have taken up using OrCAD again!"
