Top 10% of all talent on Upwork (as per Upwork's Talent program). I help startups, product teams, and hardware innovators turn ideas into reliable, production-ready embedded systems - from schematic and PCB design to low-level firmware and SoC bring-up. On the hardware side, I bring hands-on experience in electronics design and PCB development. I specialize in embedded firmware development close to the hardware, working on ARM-based systems where timing, stability, and deep debugging matter. I’ve developed bare-metal and RTOS-based firmware, written custom peripheral drivers (SPI, UART, Timers, DMA, GPIO), and supported post-silicon bring-up and validation. What I Can Help You With PCB design & electronics engineering – schematics, board bring-up support. Embedded firmware development (C) – bare-metal & RTOS (Zephyr). Peripheral driver development with DMA and concurrency awareness. SoC / MCU bring-up and post-silicon debugging. Hardware debugging using JTAG/SWD, Segger RTT, logic analyzers, protocol traces. Firmware build & debug setup – CMake, ARM toolchains, VS Code / Eclipse. Platforms & Tools KiCAD, Altium, ARM Cortex-M, ARM GCC, VS Code, Eclipse, Code Composer Studio, J-Link, Wireshark, Zephyr RTOS, CMake, Saleae, Git, etc. Why Me? Strong hardware–software co-design mindset. Clear communication and structured problem-solving. Ability to debug complex issues at signal, register, and firmware level. Ownership from concept to bring-up to stabilization.
