🏆 Top Rated Product Developer ( I've developed my own products || I'm now helping others on the Upwork platform ) 🏠 I have a Small Home Laboratory to develop/debug prototype boards for your product 💭 I'm a native English speaker My name is Stephen, and I have 25+ years in product development, including 13 years at Microchip in roles like Test Engineer, Design Engineer, Silicon Validation, and Applications Engineer. My clients communicate directly with me - I don't use any AI chatbots as intermediaries. I specialize in developing products from concept to working systems. I can handle both hardware and software or work flexibly on specific areas like architecture and hardware design. I’ve developed two successful products: (1) KEYKatcher hardware keylogger – A device plugged into a PS/2 keyboard port to record and play keystrokes. It was popular among parents for monitoring children's computer use, with tens of thousands sold. Sales declined as PS/2 ports became obsolete (2) TightWatt pool timer – An intelligent controller for swimming pool motors, featuring a year-round algorithm. It was awarded a patent and gained national distribution. Through all the product development, I’ve created a system for planning and designing working products. This system reduces costs ( by reducing mistakes ). I frequently make product improvements in 1️⃣ Lowering energy usage: important in battery-powered products 2️⃣ Increasing performance: increasing sample rates or changing communications protocols 3️⃣ Lowering product cost: making full use of the microcontroller peripherals to reduce external components I have completed more than 70 projects on Upwork but to check my capabilities or skills, you can check out the following projects: ➡️ Hardware Prototype Design for Plant Monitor Product using ESP-32 ➡️ Microchip ATtiny202 Code Development ➡️ Energy Storage Monitoring System ➡️ BM83 Bluetooth Application Schematic ➡️ Embedded System with PIC Microcontroller & Accelerometer ➡️ PCB Power Usage Optimization ➡️ TI MSP430 Development Additional Skills: ➕ Leading-edge technologies such as USB/USB-C, Lithium Battery Charging, LED and Color Mixing, I2S Digital Audio, and Analog Measurements ➕ Common Communication Busses: USB, RS-232, RS-485, CAN, I2C, SPI, Infrared ( with carrier ) As mentioned above, I have a small home laboratory where I have all the tools I need to develop/debug prototype boards for your product. This includes: ⚙️ Multiple programmers for Microchip, Atmel, and TI parts ⚙️ Logic analyzers to quickly find issues with communication busses such as I2C, SPI, UART, I2S, …. ⚙️ A “power profiler” with picoAmp range ( yes, picoAmp, a trillionth of an Ampere ) for power optimization of low-power products ⚙️ A reflow oven for assembling prototype PCBs ⚙️ Inspection equipment for verifying PCB assembly ⚙️ A fellow Upwork contractor is available to do the physical assembly work. She works at a much lower rate than me and has the patience to hand-populate / hand-solder prototype boards Some electronic inventory is on hand. I may have all the components in-house to complete your project Feel free to contact me through UpWork. Best Regards, Stephen

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. Do not hesitate to hire him. ❞ 🗣𝙏𝙖𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙧 𝙆𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙧 - 𝘾𝙀𝙊 - 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙈𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝘿𝙮𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙘𝙨 Highlights of the software skills I support my clients with include: ☑️ Hardware Device Firmware Development - ☑️ Software Development - Software Architecture Design ☑️ Desktop App Development - Desktop Software Development ☑️ Printed Circuit Boards - PCB - Circuit Design - Altium - KiCAD - Eagle ☑️ Controllers - Raspberry Pi - Nordic (NRF) - Espressif - ESP32 - ESP8266 - STM - NXP - TI - Nvidia Jetson ☑️ Programmable Circuit Boards - Microcontroller Projects - Integrated Development Environment (IDE) ☑️ Electronic Design Automation - EDA - Eagle ☑️ Mobile App Development For Hardware Devices - Flutter (Hybrid) - Swift (Apple iOS) - Java/Kotlin (Android) ☑️ IoT Development ☑️ Embedded Systems - Embedded Engineering - C - C++ - Python - Rust - RTOS - Zephyr ☑️ Web Technologies - HTML5 - JavaScript - Node.js - RESTful APIs - PyQt ☑️ Tools & IDEs - Visual Studio - STM32CubeIDE - Eclipse - Keil Product Examples I’ve Worked On Include: 🔹 Consumer Electronics - Headphones - Smartwatches 🔹 Kitchen Appliances 🔹 Medical & Health - Medical Devices 🔹 Vending Machines - Retail 🔹 Automotive Tech 🔹 IoT - Internet of Things 🔹 Gadgets 📞 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗨𝗽𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲.
