Embedded & Low-Level Engineering
Firmware and systems code that runs on bare metal.
Embedded and systems work requires a fundamentally different mindset from web development. Every byte matters, every clock cycle counts, and there's no stack trace when something goes wrong at 3 AM on a production device. I write firmware and systems code that works reliably in resource-constrained environments.
Hardware companies that need firmware for their products. Businesses with IoT devices, industrial control systems, or specialized equipment. Anyone who needs software that talks directly to hardware.
Deliverables & scope
- Bare-metal firmware for microcontrollers (PIC32, ARM Cortex, etc.)
- Hardware interface implementation (CAN, Modbus, UART, I2C, SPI, ADC)
- Real-time control systems and PID loops
- Diagnostic tooling and automated test suites
- Performance optimization for resource-constrained systems
- Driver development and OS-level programming
Reliable firmware that passes testing, handles edge cases, and runs without intervention on production hardware. Clean, documented code your team can maintain and extend.
Common questions
I've shipped production firmware on PIC32 (MIPS) and have experience across ARM Cortex-M and various 8/16/32-bit platforms. The specific chip matters less than understanding embedded fundamentals — memory management, timing constraints, and hardware interfaces.
