Embedded & IoT Systems | Firmware, Multi-Layer PCB & Enclosure Design
I built and design the PCB, write the firmware, model the enclosure, and build the IoT app that controls it. Products I have built are live on Google Play, the App Store, and in the hands of US/EU customers right now. I'm a 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 & 𝐈𝐨𝐓 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫 with a Master's in Embedded Systems and a Bachelor's in Computer Engineering. I take products end-to-end from PCB design, firmware, enclosure, IoT mobile app, to cloud, so you get one Partner accountable for the whole stack instead of coordinating four of them.
