I design and develop production-ready embedded systems, firmware, electronics hardware, PCB designs, IoT devices, and connected smart products, with a strong focus on reliability, performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability. My work covers the complete product development lifecycle, from system architecture and hardware design to firmware development, PCB design, prototyping, hardware bring-up, debugging, optimization, and production deployment. My core expertise includes embedded firmware development, embedded systems, PCB design, electronics hardware development, IoT development, BLE, WiFi, and smart product development. I work with startups, hardware teams, and product companies to turn concepts and prototypes into reliable, manufacturable products. For embedded firmware development, I primarily work with C and C++ on ARM Cortex-M, ESP32, and Nordic nRF52 platforms. I develop both bare-metal and RTOS-based firmware, with strong experience in FreeRTOS for multitasking, deterministic system behavior, interrupt handling, task scheduling, synchronization, memory management, and real-time embedded applications. I have extensive experience with embedded communication protocols and hardware interfaces including SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, BLE, and WiFi. This includes developing custom drivers and firmware interfaces for sensors, displays, communication modules, motors, power-management ICs, storage devices, and other external hardware. On the hardware side, I design complete electronics systems and PCBs for embedded and IoT products. This includes schematic design, component selection, MCU and wireless integration, sensor interfaces, communication interfaces, battery-powered systems, power management, protection circuits, connector design, PCB layout, signal integrity, power integrity, and design-for-manufacturing considerations. I also handle hardware bring-up, board validation, firmware-hardware integration, and system-level debugging. Working across both hardware and firmware makes it possible to identify integration issues efficiently and ensure that the PCB, embedded software, peripherals, power system, wireless connectivity, and mechanical product work together as a complete system. For IoT development, I build secure and reliable connectivity between embedded devices and cloud platforms using MQTT, REST APIs, WiFi, BLE, and other connected-device technologies. This includes telemetry, device communication, remote monitoring, OTA firmware updates, device configuration, and low-power optimization using sleep modes, deep sleep, and duty cycling for battery-powered IoT devices. I also develop BLE and low-power wireless products using platforms such as Nordic nRF52 and ESP32, including connected sensors, trackers, wearables, smart devices, and battery-operated IoT products. Beyond conventional embedded development, I have experience with embedded AI and edge computing, including deploying TinyML and machine-learning models on resource-constrained microcontrollers. My work also extends into complete smart product development, combining embedded firmware, electronics hardware, PCB design, wireless connectivity, sensors, power management, and product-level engineering into a single development workflow. This allows me to support products from initial concept and proof of concept through prototyping, engineering validation, optimization, and production. The goal is not simply to make a prototype work, but to develop reliable embedded hardware, firmware, PCB designs, and connected products that can be tested, maintained, manufactured, and evolved as the product grows.

I help startups, product teams, and engineering companies turn embedded product ideas into working hardware, firmware, connected IoT systems, AI-enabled devices, and mobile/cloud platforms. I lead MHTechFusion, an embedded systems and IoT engineering team with hands-on experience in PCB design, firmware development, BLE, hardware bring-up, prototyping, wireless connectivity, AI/computer vision integration, LLM/RAG applications, mobile app integration, and end-to-end product development. We support clients from early concept and feasibility stage to schematic design, PCB layout, firmware development, testing, manufacturing files, and prototype validation. Core areas I can support: -Embedded Hardware & PCB Design: ESP32, STM32, nRF52, Raspberry Pi, sensor boards, wearable electronics, power circuits, communication interfaces, multilayer PCB design, Gerbers, BOM, Pick and Place files, and DFM support. -Firmware Development: C/C++, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, CAN, OBD-II, UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, bootloaders, OTA updates, low-power firmware, and hardware bring-up. -IoT & Connected Products: Cloud dashboards, mobile app integration, device communication, MQTT, REST APIs, data logging, alerts, and remote monitoring systems. -AI, Computer Vision & LLM/RAG: Computer vision pipelines, AI-assisted inspection, object detection, OCR/ANPR-style systems, edge AI integration, LLM-based assistants, RAG systems, document intelligence, approval workflows, and AI-enabled dashboards. -Mobile & Web Applications: iOS and Android companion apps, Flutter/mobile app integration, device configuration apps, BLE/Wi-Fi device pairing, dashboards, admin panels, backend APIs, and cloud-connected product interfaces. -Testing & Prototyping: Prototype assembly coordination, lab testing, debugging, firmware flashing, signal validation, and product iteration. Recent project experience includes wearable electronics, smartwatch PCB and firmware, automotive CAN/OBD-II tools, LoRaWAN monitoring systems, industrial control boards, ESP32/STM32 firmware, custom PCBs, AI/computer vision systems, LLM/RAG platforms, iOS/Android apps, and cloud-connected IoT products. My working style is practical and milestone-based. I first understand the technical requirements, identify risks early, and then break the project into clear phases so the client knows exactly what will be delivered at each step. If you need reliable support for embedded systems, hardware, firmware, BLE, IoT, AI-enabled products, mobile apps, or cloud-connected product development, I would be happy to discuss your project.
