Shan Ahmed U.

Embedded Engineer | Firmware & PCB Design | STM32, ESP32, IoT, BLE

Top Rated Plus Embedded Hardware & Firmware Engineer with 8+ years of experience building reliable embedded products, IoT systems, and production-ready electronics. I help startups, product teams, and manufacturers take an idea, prototype, or broken design and turn it into a working embedded product that can be tested, manufactured, and scaled. My work connects hardware, firmware, and real-world product execution. Instead of treating the circuit, code, sensors, connectivity, power system, enclosure, and manufacturing process as separate pieces, I help bring them together into one reliable product. WHAT I BUILD • Custom schematic and PCB design for reliable embedded hardware • Embedded firmware development in C/C++ for real-world products • ESP32, STM32, Nordic, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Embedded Linux platforms • BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE, Cat-M1, NB-IoT, LoRa, NFC, GPS/GNSS, and sensor integration • Low-power electronics, battery-powered devices, BMS, and power management • Industrial interfaces including UART, SPI, I2C, RS-485, CAN, Modbus, ADC/DAC, and GPIO • Board bring-up, debugging, firmware validation, and hardware troubleshooting • BOM preparation, Gerber files, assembly files, DFM review, and manufacturing support I have worked across wireless IoT devices, wearable and medical electronics, industrial monitoring systems, automation hardware, smart sensors, connected consumer products, and custom embedded controllers. WHY ONE TECHNICAL OWNER Clients usually come to me when they need more than a schematic or a firmware file. They need someone who can understand the complete system, identify risks early, solve hardware and firmware integration issues, and move the product closer to production. I also lead a full-service engineering team when projects require additional support across mechanical enclosure design, cloud integration, mobile app development, product design, or manufacturing coordination. This gives clients one technical owner while keeping the embedded hardware and firmware work technically grounded.
