I am comfortable with video calls and presentations. That way we can better communicate about the project and your expectations. I have created hundreds of small PCBs from concept to prototype.
Here are some of the tools and skill sets that I use:
MPLAB X
MPLAB XC8 PIC Assembler
Micro-Cap 12 for circuit simulation, graphs, and component selection

High-performance backends. Decision engines. AI factories. Computer vision. Real-time systems. From UI/UX-heavy MVPs to full-stack platforms built for the traffic that comes after launch day, not just during it. Rust, C++, and 5+ languages.
100,000+ concurrent WebSocket connections -- in production. A 12-week roadmap shipped in 4.
30 senior engineers. Dedicated project teams, not rotating freelancers. Every engagement starts with a paid Discovery phase -- we scope the architecture before we write a line of code.
Not a fit: no-code workflows, or projects solvable with Zapier.
WHAT I BUILD
- High-Performance Backends: Production backends with actix-web, axum, and Tokio -- millions of requests/day, zero GC pauses. REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, and gRPC services for throughput and latency-sensitive workloads.
- Full-Stack Platforms: React, Next.js, TypeScript frontends with production backends -- SaaS, MVPs, and custom web applications from architecture to deployment. Designed for 1K to 100K concurrent users without a rewrite.
- Autonomous AI Agents: Agentic pipelines with OpenAI and Anthropic Claude -- lead qualification, data analysis, customer support running 24/7. Multi-step reasoning, error recovery, state persistence. 11+ projects for one client.
- Computer Vision: Object detection, tracking, real-time inference, OCR, document processing -- CUDA-optimized, deployed as production APIs or edge devices. Not Jupyter notebooks.
- Real-Time 3D & Visualization: WebGL and WebGPU rendering -- product configurators, data dashboards, architectural viewers at 60fps in-browser on mid-range hardware.
- Data Pipelines: Rust-native processing with Polars and DataFusion -- replacing Python/JavaScript bottlenecks. Kafka streaming, PostgreSQL persistence.
- Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Azure with Terraform and Kubernetes -- auto-scaling, zero-downtime deployments, infrastructure-as-code.
RECENT OUTCOMES
- Crypto trading platform dropping connections above 8,000 users. Rebuilt proxy in Rust, Tokio, Kubernetes -- 100,000 connections at under 10ms, zero crashes.
- GovTech blockchain payment router on Go. Rebuilt IAVL Tree in Rust -- 20–30% faster, Clutch-reviewed (Alex Kampa, AZKR Research).
- Recruitment team spending 4 hours daily on manual data entry. Built automated extraction and processing pipeline -- 95% reduction.
- Data analytics platform hitting memory limits in JavaScript. Replaced core with Rust and Polars -- 5x faster processing, 70% lower memory.
- Blockchain gaming 3D pipeline loading in 8+ seconds. Rebuilt within 4GB RAM budget -- 45% faster, Clutch-reviewed (Ruslan Varets).
TECHNOLOGIES
- Systems & Backend: Rust, C++, Python, TypeScript, actix-web, axum, Tokio, Node.js, WebAssembly
- Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tauri, Dioxus

My job is to design functional and tested circuits and PCBs for your application or consult you, so you can do that your self. Just give me requirements for your circuit: the price for bill of materials, deadline and a list of required features. After a prototype of the device is designed, which I almost always advise, I will order few sample PCBs for testing. After testing and debugging is completed, I will ship them to you, so you can verify my testing results. This costs extra for you, but you are buying 100% working circuit design which needs no testing. Just take it and use it in your project.
If you want to know how a circuit works I can develop complete math model of the circuit. This approach is way more accurate than SPICE simulation and allows you to understand how the circuit operates.
I have completed at least one project having fallowing sub circuits:
Analog:
Low noise, low speed front-ends (from Hz to 100KHz): Photodiode, strain gauge, pressure sensitive resistors, magnetic angle sensors, tensile, thermocouples and other.
High order active filters
Voltage measurement (uV to kV)
Current measurement (pA to tens of A)
Resistance measurements (mOhm to Mohm)
Frequency measurement (below GHz)
Current output
Oscillators (Bubba, Pierce, Hartley, phase shift, relaxation, crystal, RC)
Integrated RF transmitters/receivers
Digital:
PCIe
USB
HDMI
I2S
SPI
High speed parallel interfaces
Logic circuits (TTL, CMOS)
SOCs
Power:
DC/DC converters: Buck, Boost, SEPIC, full bridge, Cuk, Linear
AC/DC converters (up to 1.8kW)
Brushless and brushed motor drivers
TEC drivers
CAD packages:
DipTrace

Sid is passionate about bringing electrical project ideas and concepts all the way to completion as design files ready for mass production. From making sure the initial idea is viable, to choosing the parts, designing the electrical schematic, and routing the PCB...to writing, debugging and testing the firmware required for the requisite functionality.
PROGRAMMING
• 18 years of experience with programming in C/C++, BASIC, and Assembler (machine code).
• Extensive experience writing firmware utilizing hardware interrupts, MCU peripherals, RTOS, and multithreading.
• Equally at home writing firmware for 8-bit processors (Microchip PIC, 8051, etc.) as with 32-bit processors (including ARM-based processors, the ESP32 product series, and more).
• Writes tight and efficient code that is both fast and very lightweight: reduces processor requirements and cost.
• Experience in writing secure firmware update infrastructure (for any processor with bootloader provision and self-write capability, including the ESP32).
• Use of captive-portal HTML5 web UIs for easy headless product field setup and configuration, bypassing the need for iOS & Android app development and costs.
ELECTRICAL
• 16 years of experience designing schematics & PCBs in EDA software. (Currently using KiCAD, a powerful cross-platform EDA suite. As it's free, that means that you can easily view project design files at any time without any costly subscription requirements.)
• Enjoys finding creative and unusual solutions to design challenges (both electrical and software), to meet budgetary requirements and/or space constraints.
• Experience with both monochrome and color LCD UIs, with user interaction via physical buttons, switches, encoders, touch pads, TFT LCD touchscreens, IR remotes and more.

Secure your infrastructure and deconstruct malicious binaries with a certified expert.
As a Certified Cybersecurity (ISC2) professional and specialized Reverse Engineer, I don't just find vulnerabilities—I understand the code behind them. My background in full-stack development gives me a unique advantage: I know exactly how applications are built, which makes me significantly faster at breaking them down, analyzing malware, and patching security holes.
I specialize in Reverse Engineering and Digital Forensics, helping clients understand proprietary file formats, analyze suspicious executables, and recover data from compromised systems.
Whether you have a suspicious file that needs dissecting or a network that needs hardening, I provide actionable, evidence-based results.

I build production-grade web applications and backend systems that scale —
and I have the metrics to back it up.
Over 5 years I've shipped full-stack systems across SaaS, logistics, and AI
platforms. At PortPro, a drayage SaaS serving thousands of drivers across the
US, I cut Mapbox API costs from $12K to $1.5K/month by architecting an
intelligent caching layer, reduced database storage by 88% (700GB → 80GB) via
a TimescaleDB migration, and led a team of 5 engineers to maintain 99.9%
production uptime. Currently at Arrow Transport in Sydney, I'm building an
enterprise logistics platform on .NET Core, React, and AWS ECS handling
Australia-wide operations.
On Upwork, I've delivered 15+ projects with a 100% Job Success Score and Top
Rated Plus status — including a GPU-accelerated AI video generation SaaS
(Produce.so), an AI companionship app backend (Frankie AI), and a
Paddle-integrated property management platform (Host & Guest).
What I build:
— Full-stack web applications: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS
— Backend systems and REST/GraphQL APIs: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
— Cloud infrastructure: AWS (ECS, Lambda, S3, CloudWatch), Docker, Kubernetes
— AI integrations: OpenAI API, Claude API, LangGraph, RAG pipelines
— Async processing: BullMQ, FFmpeg video pipelines, webhook systems
— Auth and payments: JWT, OAuth2, Stripe, Paddle, Apple Pay, Google Pay
I'm based in Sydney, Australia (AEST) and available 30–40 hours per week.
