I help companies turn ideas and electronics designs into fully working and reliable devices. I am a Hardware and Firmware Engineer with 10+ years of experience developing real products, with hardware designed for 70+ successful projects, many of which are currently on the market. Unlike many freelancers who stop at schematic and PCB design, I support projects through board bring-up, firmware integration, and system debugging in a hardware lab, ensuring the device actually works and meets the expected specifications. I also work directly with PCB manufacturers and assembly partners, helping clients avoid production issues and ensuring designs move smoothly from prototype to manufacturing. My approach focuses on building functional systems, validating them through testing, and identifying issues early before they become expensive problems in production. Two client Products I Have Developed: ✅ Smart home devices ✅ Corrosion monitoring sensors ✅ Drone and boat controllers ✅ Gimbal control systems ✅ BLDC motor controller for medical beds ✅ Muscle stimulators ✅ Medical scales ✅ Smart irrigation and weather monitoring systems ✅ Smart camera systems What I Deliver: ✅ Hardware architecture and PCB design ✅ Embedded firmware development ✅ Functional PCB prototypes ready for testing ✅ Board bring-up and hardware validation ✅ Hardware debugging and troubleshooting ✅ Reliability design reviews (ESD protection, thermal stability, power integrity, signal integrity, EMC, UL, CE) Typical Projects I Help With: ✅ Bringing up new PCB prototypes ✅ Debugging boards that are not working or unstable ✅ Hardware and firmware integration ✅ Reviewing schematics and PCB layouts before manufacturing ✅ Reliability audits to improve product lifetime ✅ Fixing power stability, ESD protection, and thermal issues During my career, I have used various technologies and components. Below are some of them: ⭐RF modules: LORA, WIFI, BLE, GPS, GSM, LTE, ZIGBEE, NRF52840, ESP32, SARA-R510, CC2530, CC2538, SIM9001, SIM800, Quectel, Arduino_IOT... ⭐Microcontrollers/Microprocessors: STM32 ( F and L family), ATAMEGA, ESP32, MSP430, MSP432, ATSAM, NFR52840, PIC32, PIC24, NXP, ARDUINO, IMX8... ⭐ Sensors: Temperature, humidity, O2 sensor, PH sensor, Light sensor, motion sensor, water leakage sensor, Nitrate sensor, current sensors, Voltage sensor, distance sensors, corrosion sensor, Scale sensors, accelerometers, Magnetometers, Rain sensor, Air quality sensors... If you are looking for someone who can design, bring up, and debug your hardware until it works as expected, please send me a message, and we can discuss your project.

A client in the US shipped a Bluetooth device halfway around the world, all the way to me here in Vietnam. Then he waited three weeks for it to arrive. He could have hired someone much closer to home. He chose to wait for me instead. That story tells you what I actually do. Anyone can build a mobile app. The hard part is making the app work with a real physical device, and keeping it connected when you switch to another app, the signal gets weak, or the battery runs low. That's where most projects quietly fail. It's also why my client didn't want the nearby option. He wanted someone who would get the device right, and built the app right. Over 17,000 hours on Upwork and 70+ clients, I've built apps for all kinds of devices: a heart monitor used in healthcare, car alarm and remote-start systems, a tap-to-pay card reader, a skydiving altimeter, Bluetooth printers, and smart scales. I even keep a shelf of the small electronic boards these devices run on. But the device is only half the job. To deliver the whole product, I work across every major mobile toolset: Flutter, iOS, Android, and React Native. I pick the right one for your project, or match the app you already have. So one person handles the app, the connection to your device, and getting it approved on the App Store and Google Play. Not three separate hires. Recently, I'm now Anthropic-certified in building with Claude, and it would benefit you if we go together. Claude handles the repetitive coding work, so you need a smaller team (one senior developer now covers what used to take several) and launch sooner & monetize quicker. One past client said it better than I can: 🗣️ "Hau demonstrated excellent knowledge and skill in completing the project and produced high quality outcomes. The project involved a complicated architecture with both cloud and hardware connections which Hau was able to handle well." Google Certified Android Developer · Anthropic Claude Certified · Upwork Top Rated Plus (top 3% of freelancers, 100% Job Success) If you have a device that needs an app, or an app that needs to go live, send me a message and let's talk. 🕛 I'm in ICT (UTC+7️⃣), but can work in any time zone.

With 3+ years of hands-on experience, I specialize in taking embedded products from prototype to mass production. I've completed 10+ real-world projects and successfully shipped consumer products that are now in end-users' hands. What I Do Best I build production-grade firmware — not hobby projects. My work spans the full embedded stack: hardware bring-up, device drivers, firmware, bootloaders, OTA systems, and companion mobile/PC apps. Core Expertise - MCU Platforms: STM32 (F0/F1/F4/L0/L4), ESP32/ESP32-S3/ESP32-P4/ESP32-C3, nRF52480/NRF52832, ARM Cortex-M & RISC-V, ... - RTOS & Bare-Metal: FreeRTOS (advanced task sync — queues, semaphores, event groups, task notifications), bare-metal programming, custom bootloader development, ... - Peripherals: I2C, SPI, I2S, UART, PWM, ADC/DAC, RMT, Modbus RTU, USB HID, ... - Connectivity: Wi-Fi, BLE, LoRa, NFC, GSM/GPRS, NB-IoT, 4G, ... - IoT & Cloud: MQTT, HTTP/HTTPS, WebSocket, TCP/UDP | Azure IoT, AWS, Firebase, ... - Security: Secure Boot, encrypted NVS storage, FIDO2 passwordless authentication - Languages: C/C++ (primary), Python, Dart/Flutter (mobile & desktop apps), Java - Sensors: Accelerometer, IMU, Gyroscope, Time-of-Flight (ToF), Fingerprint, Ambient Light, Temperature, Humidity, Water Quality, Gas, Heart Rate & SpO₂, ... - Peripherals: Camera, Microphone, Speaker, Buzzer, ... - Displays: TFT, OLED, LCD, HMI, ,.. - Build & Debug: ESP-IDF, Makefiles, CMake, linker scripts, GCC toolchain, GDB/JTAG — fully IDE-independent - Other: Embedded Linux (Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi), Edge AI on MCUs, VoIP, WireGuard VPN, OTA update systems, PCB design (EasyEDA) What Sets Me Apart I deliver production-ready firmware, not proof-of-concepts. Clean architecture, proper error handling, memory optimization, and power management. I work at the toolchain level — Makefiles, linker scripts, GCC, GDB — not dependent on any IDE. I collaborate effectively with backend teams, including building systems using MCP (Model Context Protocol). I've shipped real consumer electronics — I understand what it takes to go from "it works on my bench" to "it works in 10,000 units." If you're a startup building a hardware product and need someone who can take it from prototype to production, let's talk.
