Got a hardware product that needs an app? I build the mobile app and the firmware that connects it to your device — Bluetooth (BLE), ESP32/Nordic, OTA updates — so it works reliably in your customers' hands, not just on the bench. I'm Sahil, a senior software engineer with 6+ years building hardware-connected apps across automotive, smart lighting, healthcare, and IoT. Most app developers can't touch firmware, and most firmware engineers can't ship a polished app. I do both — so you hire one person, not a team you have to coordinate. 🔧 What I build for you • Mobile apps that talk to your hardware over BLE/Bluetooth (Flutter, native iOS & Android) • Firmware for ESP32, Nordic & Arduino — and the app that controls it • OTA firmware updates (over BLE or Wi-Fi), done safely • Prototype → reliable, shippable product • Rebuilds of no-code / "vibe-coded" MVPs cracking under real users — AI-assisted to ship faster, without cutting corners on your product 🧠 Why founders work with me • I own the app-to-device seam — the part where most hardware projects stall • I design for the field, not the demo: reconnection, range, OTA, iOS/Android quirks • I catch costly architecture mistakes early — no expensive rebuilds later • You work directly with me — no agency markup, no junior pass-through, no account managers • Clear communication — no jargon, no guessing ⚙️ Technical background • Embedded & IoT: ESP32, Nordic, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, BLE, Wi-Fi, OTA • Systems: C/C++, Python, RTOS (Zephyr), TCP/IP • Mobile: Flutter, React Native, Kotlin, Swift • Cloud/Backend: REST APIs, AWS (incl. firmware/OTA delivery) • AI-assisted delivery — used to move faster, never as a substitute for engineering If you've got a real product or a working prototype and you want the app + firmware built right the first time — not just experimented with, let's talk.
