firmware & embedded systems

Firmware that has to work when nobody's watching it run.

I take embedded hardware from a bring-up board to firmware you can actually ship — available for contract and freelance work.

Where I help

Bare-metal & RTOS firmwareWriting and structuring firmware for resource-constrained microcontrollers, with or without an RTOS underneath.
Hardware bring-upGetting a new board talking — clocks, peripherals, power sequencing — and finding what the schematic didn't tell you.
Driver developmentWriting and debugging drivers for sensors, displays, radios and storage, including the register-level detail work.
Debugging & reliabilityChasing down intermittent faults, memory issues and timing bugs that only show up after hours of runtime.
Prototype to productionHelping small hardware teams get from a working prototype to firmware that's ready for the field.

Have a board that needs firmware?

Tell me what you're building and roughly where it's stuck — I'll let you know honestly if it's something I can help with.
