I work across 8-bit to 32-bit MCUs (AVR, PIC, STM32, ESP32, nRF52, RP2040, TI MSP430/C2000, Renesas RA/RX), real-time processors, and Linux-capable SoCs and SoMs (Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson) — covering automotive, industrial, and IoT-grade platforms. OS stack spans bare-metal, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, and Embedded Linux (Yocto/Buildroot).

Both. I'm comfortable reviewing schematics, doing hardware bring-up, debugging with oscilloscopes and logic analyzers, and collaborating closely with PCB designers and HW engineers. I often serve as the firmware-hardware interface on mixed teams.

Yes — all projects include a 30-day warranty period for bug fixes at no extra cost. Ongoing support or retainer arrangements are available.

Three options: hourly consulting (for audits, reviews, and advisory), fixed-price projects (for well-scoped deliverables), and monthly retainers (for ongoing development or CTO-on-demand roles). I'll recommend the best fit after an initial call.

Scope varies widely. A firmware audit or single driver can be 1–2 weeks. A full IoT product from bring-up to cloud integration is typically 3–6 months. I'll give you an honest estimate after reviewing your requirements.

Absolutely. I'm comfortable with standard mutual NDAs and IP assignment agreements. Confidentiality is taken seriously — several of my current clients are in stealth mode.
