Firmware delivery
Embedded C/C++, STM32 / ARM Cortex‑M, FreeRTOS, peripheral integration, low-level drivers and production firmware tasks.
SENIOR EMBEDDED / FIRMWARE CONTRACTOR · BOOKING FUTURE CONTRACTS
Firmware engineering for hardware teams that need products to boot, talk, pass tests and ship.
I help IoT, medical, industrial and smart-device teams deliver embedded software, unblock low-level bugs, integrate hardware and firmware, and stabilize products before release.

Where I can help
Best fit: real hardware, embedded constraints, overloaded internal teams, release pressure, or bugs that live at the hardware/software boundary.
02
Debug & stabilization
Intermittent faults, timing issues, protocol failures, boot problems, field bugs and release-readiness work before production.
03
Integration & tooling
Hardware/software integration, test utilities, diagnostics, factory tools, CI support and documentation for maintainable delivery.
Example projects I can take on
These are the kind of contract packages that are easy for a client to understand and scope.
Board bring-up & firmware baseline
2–6 weeksGet a new board from first power-on to a stable firmware baseline that the team can build on.
- ✓Clock, GPIO, boot, debug interface, peripheral smoke tests
- ✓I2C/SPI/UART/CAN device integration
- ✓Bring-up notes, known issues and next-step plan
STM32ARM Cortex‑MC/C++
Firmware rescue for a blocked release
1–4 weeksAttack a specific reliability or integration problem that is delaying validation or shipment.
- ✓Reproduce and instrument the failure
- ✓Fix race/timing/protocol bugs
- ✓Leave tests or diagnostics so it stays fixed
debuglogic analyzerRTOS
IoT connectivity & device communication
3–8 weeksImplement or stabilize the communication layer between device, gateway, cloud or local tooling.
- ✓BLE / Wi‑Fi / LoRa / Ethernet / serial protocols
- ✓Device state machines and error handling
- ✓Diagnostics for support and field visibility
BLELoRaMQTTCAN
Embedded Linux product support
4–10 weeksHelp with embedded Linux integration work around devices, services, scripts and product reliability.
- ✓Device integration and system-level debugging
- ✓Startup services, logs, update/diagnostic flows
- ✓Production-oriented fixes, not prototype hacks

Good contract fit
I’m useful when you need senior embedded execution without adding a permanent headcount.
remote-firstclear scopesenior ownershipdelivery-focusedhardware teams
- ✓Medical, IoT, industrial, robotics or smart-device products.
- ✓Firmware work with real hardware constraints and release pressure.
- ✓Teams that value clear communication, documentation and pragmatic trade-offs.
- ✓Remote contracts across EU, UK and US timezone overlap.
Let’s talk about the device, the bug, or the release.
