Hire the Best nRF52 Professionals

I shipped a 5-device cellular IoT fleet on nRF9160 — LTE-M telemetry, real-time GNSS geofencing, deep-sleep duty cycles configurable from the server, FOTA over nRF Cloud, and Onomondo eSIM with physical SIM fallback. Not a prototype. Running in the field. That's the bar I build to. I'm Akbar, an Embedded Firmware Engineer specializing in Nordic nRF and Zephyr RTOS. Three years of production firmware across asset trackers, smart locks, BLE wearables, connected home platforms, and cellular telemetry nodes. If your project runs on nRF52, nRF53, or nRF91 series silicon, I've built something close to it already. Most firmware freelancers disappear when bugs show up in the field. I write the audit trail and the fallback path before shipping. NORDIC nRF + ZEPHYR RTOS nRF Connect SDK and Zephyr is where I live, not a secondary skill. Devicetree configuration, Kconfig system, west build pipelines, MCUboot secure bootloader, FOTA that survives field OTA updates. If you're migrating from nRF5 SDK to nRF Connect SDK, I've navigated that exact transition — API differences, MCUboot vs Nordic DFU, build system restructuring, and live-device OTA migration without bricking deployed units. BLE FIRMWARE Full BLE GATT profile design on nRF52840 and nRF5340. HID peripherals, telemetry bridges streaming 25 Hz data without packet loss, command-based lock systems with actuator and limit-switch feedback, tap-to-wake and raise-to-wake via IMU, fall detection, DMIC audio streaming over BLE. Sub-10uA standby achieved on production hardware. CELLULAR IoT End-to-end cellular firmware on nRF9160. MQTT over LTE-M, GNSS positioning, geofencing with server-side motion and exit alerts, Onomondo soft-SIM plus physical SIM fallback, remote FOTA from nRF Cloud. Also built a hybrid ranging system combining Nordic Distance Measurement on nRF52840, u-blox M8N GNSS, and ICM-45686 IMU on STM32L4 for multi-sensor fusion. ESP32 + AWS IoT Commercial smart home platform on ESP32-S3 with ESP-IDF: three controller lines (lighting, gate/lock, dimmer), BLE provisioning, AWS IoT Core MQTT, scheduling, FOTA, and latency cut from seconds to under 100ms. Vehicle lock with Wi-Fi geofencing and AWS IoT telemetry. Custom PID thermal controller with TFT display, deep-sleep, and IR/button wake. WHAT YOU GET Documented source code, build and flash instructions, hardware test notes, architecture rationale. A codebase your team can own after I'm done, not a black box only I understand. I ask the right questions before writing a line of code — power budget, update strategy, production volume, regulatory requirements.

They are the real deal. Not only did they complete everything I asked for to build me a very complicated machine, they constantly added in their own innovations and modifications to improve the performance of the device. It was extremely easy to work with them, and they are extremely professional and true experts in their fields. I proposed many changes during the development of the product, and they were able to accommodate my requests and provide valuable insight if changes weren’t needed or were too costly. They are backed by an engineering firm with specialists in so many fields, so we never needed to outsource work to an outside firm. Their firm felt like a one-stop shop that had all the resources needed to build a complicated mechanical product. I really could not imagine that many other engineer freelancers would have access to the resources needed to build my machine, so I am very grateful I found Muhammad instead of wasting my time and money with other freelancers.
