Top Rated Plus Embedded Hardware & Firmware Engineer with 8+ years of experience building reliable embedded products, IoT systems, and production-ready electronics.
I help startups, product teams, and manufacturers take an idea, prototype, or broken design and turn it into a working embedded product that can be tested, manufactured, and scaled.
My work connects hardware, firmware, and real-world product execution. Instead of treating the circuit, code, sensors, connectivity, power system, enclosure, and manufacturing process as separate pieces, I help bring them together into one reliable product.
WHAT I BUILD
• Custom schematic and PCB design for reliable embedded hardware
• Embedded firmware development in C/C++ for real-world products
• ESP32, STM32, Nordic, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Embedded Linux platforms
• BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE, Cat-M1, NB-IoT, LoRa, NFC, GPS/GNSS, and sensor integration
• Low-power electronics, battery-powered devices, BMS, and power management
• Industrial interfaces including UART, SPI, I2C, RS-485, CAN, Modbus, ADC/DAC, and GPIO
• Board bring-up, debugging, firmware validation, and hardware troubleshooting
• BOM preparation, Gerber files, assembly files, DFM review, and manufacturing support
I have worked across wireless IoT devices, wearable and medical electronics, industrial monitoring systems, automation hardware, smart sensors, connected consumer products, and custom embedded controllers.
WHY ONE TECHNICAL OWNER
Clients usually come to me when they need more than a schematic or a firmware file. They need someone who can understand the complete system, identify risks early, solve hardware and firmware integration issues, and move the product closer to production.
I also lead a full-service engineering team when projects require additional support across mechanical enclosure design, cloud integration, mobile app development, product design, or manufacturing coordination. This gives clients one technical owner while keeping the embedded hardware and firmware work technically grounded.

From prototype to production I build complete IoT and embedded systems that work in the real world, not just on a breadboard.
With 5+ years of experience and 150+ projects delivered across aviation, agricultural, automotive, industrial and smart home applications, I handle the full stack: firmware, PCB design, cloud integration, and deployment. You get one engineer who owns the whole product not "three freelancers patching each other's work."
What I build:
Embedded firmware for ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ATmega, and NRF52 including OTA updates, low-power optimization, watchdogs, and protocol stacks (UART, SPI, I2C, CANbus, RS485, Modbus).
End-to-end IoT systems with Wi-Fi, BLE, LoRa, Zigbee, GSM, and NB-IoT connectivity, integrated with AWS IoT Core, Firebase, ThingsBoard, Node-RED, MQTT, and REST APIs.
PCB design up to 3 layers using Altium, KiCad, and EasyEDA covering power supply, sensor interfacing, EMI/ESD protection, prototyping, and validation.
Custom cloud dashboards and platform integrations: Grafana, Blynk, Home Assistant, ESP Rainmaker, and custom HTML/API solutions.
Industries I've worked in:
- Aviation (Solar powerd Aviation lights control)
- Industrial IoT
- Agriculture and Hydrophonics
- Smart building automation
- Automotive
How I work:
I communicate at every milestone, write clean modular code built for production (not just demos), and deliver on time. I'm open to NDA for any project requiring confidentiality.
If you're building a smart device, an industrial automation system, or a connected hardware product, message me with your idea and we can scope it out in a quick call.
