Let's be clear. There is no point in spending money developing your product if it is not a winner. You can find lots of people here on Upwork that have the technical acumen to help you. But what I can also help you with is the business savvy and user experience expertise required for success. It is the balance of tech, business and UX that defines a winner.
If you just need someone to execute a detailed and carefully spelled out technical specification then I'm sure you can find somebody who will do it for less. But if you want a product that can dominate your market then you want my kind of wizardry.
As an electronic system developer, I transform ideas into competitively successful products, specializing in embedded systems for consumer, tech, and medical industries. I have managed numerous products through their entire life cycle.
I possess the education, skills, and experience required to conjure your electronic product idea from concept to production. We can begin by fleshing out the idea and uncovering any hidden issues. As the saying goes, "The devil is in the details," and as a Tech Wizard, I thrive on mastering those details.
Once we have a specification, I can estimate the project's duration. A typical project includes designing a circuit, creating a board, programming a chip, designing a user interface, conducting multiple rounds of testing, and then preparing a document for handoff to production. During our video chat, I will gladly show you the magic behind the scenes.
My Master’s of Science in Electrical Engineering and decades of experience mean I have pretty much seen it all. This reduces the likelihood of unpleasant surprises and ensures a smooth journey from concept to reality.
While all this sounds good on paper, I encourage you to contact me with your requirements so we can discuss what it will take to turn your ideas into reality during a video chat.
