Most tech writing covers software, apps, and algorithms. I have spent over 20 years in PCB electronics manufacturing — working in technical sales and serving some of the world’s leading tech companies on the front lines of hardware procurement and supply chain decisions.
Who I Am: I’m Imran Valiani, a Sales Director in PCB electronics manufacturing based in the Bay Area. My vantage point is unique — not as an engineer on the bench, but as someone who has spent two decades negotiating, sourcing, and selling the hardware that makes modern technology actually work.
Silicon to Software is where I translate that insider knowledge into content anyone in tech can understand and use.
What I Cover:
- AI infrastructure and compute hardware
- PCB manufacturing and electronics supply chains
- Autonomous systems and electric vehicles
- Cybersecurity at the hardware level
- Data centers and silicon supply chains
AI Disclosure: As someone who writes about AI, I use AI tools responsibly to assist with brainstorming, research, drafting, and editing while maintaining human oversight, fact-checking, and final editorial control. All analysis and industry context draw from my direct experience in PCB manufacturing and electronics.
