I am a full-stack technology developer and engineer with hands-on experience in custom software development, embedded systems, IoT, automation, AI/ML, computer vision, PLC systems, Odoo customization, and hardware-software integration.
My main strength is building complete working systems — not only writing code, but connecting software, hardware, firmware, databases, dashboards, sensors, controllers, and real-world devices into one reliable solution. I enjoy solving practical engineering problems and turning ideas into functional products, prototypes, tools, and automation systems.
I work with clients who need custom solutions for business automation, industrial systems, IoT products, AI-based applications, embedded devices, dashboards, machine learning models, and hardware control systems.
What I Can Help You Build
I can support a wide range of software and hardware projects, including:
Custom software development
Web applications and admin dashboards
Desktop applications and automation tools
Python scripts, data processing, and workflow automation
Backend systems, APIs, and database integration
MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and cloud/server database systems
Odoo customization, module support, and business workflow automation
IoT systems using ESP32, ESP8266, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other controllers
MQTT, Wi-Fi, LoRa, GSM, Bluetooth/BLE, and sensor-based communication systems
Embedded firmware development for microcontrollers and ARM-based platforms
PLC programming and industrial automation support
Sensor, actuator, motor, relay, valve, and control system integration
PCB design support, prototyping, and hardware troubleshooting
Raspberry Pi-based applications, automation, cameras, and edge devices
Machine learning and deep learning model development
Computer vision, image processing, object detection, and object tracking
YOLO-based detection systems and real-time camera applications
Face detection, face recognition, and AI inspection systems

Software Development Skills
I can build practical software systems for real business and engineering use cases. This includes dashboards, management systems, automation tools, API integrations, reporting systems, monitoring platforms, and custom applications.
I work with Python, JavaScript, backend frameworks, databases, and modern development workflows to create clean and maintainable applications. I can also integrate software with hardware devices, sensors, cloud platforms, third-party APIs, and industrial equipment.
Embedded, IoT, and Hardware Skills
I have strong experience with ESP32, ESP8266, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, sensors, actuators, relays, motors, MQTT communication, and real-time monitoring systems. I can help with firmware development, circuit planning, wiring diagrams, device communication, data logging, cloud integration, and troubleshooting.
For IoT projects, I can build systems that collect sensor data, control devices, send data to servers, display dashboards, trigger alerts, and communicate through MQTT, HTTP, LoRa, GSM, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
AI, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision
I also develop AI and machine learning solutions using Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, OpenCV, and YOLO. I can help with model training, testing, optimization, and deployment.
My AI/ML work includes image classification, object detection, object tracking, segmentation, anomaly detection, text classification, sentiment analysis, spam detection, and edge AI deployment.

For automation and industrial projects, I can support PLC logic, machine control concepts, sensor integration, HMI/dashboard planning, data logging, reporting, and remote monitoring. I understand how important reliability, safety, and clear documentation are in real-world automation systems.
My Development Approach
I focus on complete, practical solutions. Before building, I analyze the requirement, define the system structure, select suitable technologies, and plan how each part connects. During development, I focus on clean code, stable hardware communication, clear logic, and proper testing.
My workflow usually includes:
Requirement analysis
System architecture planning
Hardware and software selection
Firmware or software development
Database and dashboard integration
Testing and troubleshooting
Documentation and final handover
Why Work With Me
Many projects fail because the software developer does not understand hardware, or the hardware developer does not understand software. I work across both areas, which helps reduce integration problems and makes the final result more reliable.
I can help you from idea to prototype, from prototype to product, or from a broken system to a working solution.
My goal is simple: deliver a clean, practical, well-documented, and reliable system that solves your actual problem.

How to Hire Top Raspberry Pi Developers
How to hire Raspberry Pi developers
A low-cost programmable computer roughly the size of a credit card, Raspberry Pi is the SoC (system on a chip) of choice for many electronics projects. A Raspberry Pi developer can help you build your own robots, control systems, and electronic devices.
So how do you hire Raspberry Pi developers? What follows are some tips for finding top Raspberry Pi developers on Upwork.
How to shortlist Raspberry Pi professionals
As you’re browsing available Raspberry Pi consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:
Technology fit. You want a Raspberry Pi developer who understands the technologies in your electronics project.
Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., using a Raspberry Pi with Arduino microcontrollers).
Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular Raspberry Pi developer.
How to write an effective Raspberry Pi job post
With a clear picture of your ideal Raspberry Pi developer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a freelancer to know if they’re the right fit for the project.
An effective Raspberry Pi job post should include:
Scope of work: From managing IoT devices to running your own portable web server, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or developer tools, mention this here.
Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.
