I help startups and founders turn hardware ideas into working prototypes and production-ready products: PCB, firmware and enclosure, all from one engineer.
In 7+ years and 150+ Upwork projects (14,000+ hours), I've built IoT devices, wearables, health-monitoring products and custom embedded hardware for clients worldwide, many of them taken all the way to manufacturing.
WHAT I CAN BUILD FOR YOU
• Schematic design and PCB layout (2 to multilayer) in Altium, KiCad and EasyEDA
• Embedded firmware for ESP32, STM32, nRF and Arduino
• IoT devices with BLE, Wi-Fi, GPS, LTE and sensors
• Wearables and compact, battery-powered, low-power designs
• Companion mobile apps (Android/iOS) that connect to your device over BLE or Wi-Fi: live data, control, alerts and dashboards
• Enclosure and product design that fits your electronics
• Prototype testing, debugging and redesign of existing boards
• Manufacturing-ready files: Gerber, BOM, CPL and STEP, plus factory support
RECENT PROJECTS
• ESP32 GPS tracker with real-time location and geofencing
• BLE wearable fitness tracker for ankle activity monitoring
• Custom battery charger and BMS board with cell balancing
WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME
Most hardware projects fail at the handoff between PCB, firmware and enclosure. I design all three together from day one, thinking about mechanical fit, component availability, assembly, testing and DFM. That means fewer redesigns, fewer surprises at the factory, and a product that actually works in the real world.
HOW I'LL WORK
Have a hardware idea or a board that isn't working? Send me a message with what you're building. I usually reply within a few hours.
