Custom embedded hardware, vision, and builds.
I design and build embedded systems end to end — firmware, custom PCBs, and the software around them. Setpoint is one shipped example: a no-cloud Wi-Fi sensor with open firmware, a self-hosted dashboard, and a browser flasher. If you have something to build, tell me about it.
What I can help with
Three things I do well.
From a napkin sketch to a small production run — pick the closest fit and we'll scope the rest together.
Hardware & firmware development
Sensor and connected-device work, from prototype to small-batch — the same stack behind Setpoint.
- ESP32 / low-power firmware
- Custom carrier PCBs & bring-up
- Wi-Fi / MQTT / Home Assistant / Prometheus
- Self-hosted dashboards & data pipelines
Proof: Setpoint — firmware, PCB, hub app & web, all shipped.
Embedded computer vision
Real-time camera vision on edge hardware, including low-light / night vision and head-mounted displays — genuinely uncommon work.
- NVIDIA Jetson vision pipelines
- Low-light / night-vision imaging
- Head-mounted / wearable displays
- Real-time video & sensor fusion
Proof: a self-contained head-mounted night-vision rig — live camera vision to a headset display, on Jetson. Code on GitHub →
Small-run 3D printing
One-offs and short runs on a two-printer setup — functional parts, enclosures, brackets, and prototype iterations.
- Functional / prototype parts
- Enclosures & mounts
- Short production runs
- Print-from-your-file or design help
Send an STL or a sketch — I'll quote it.
How it works
Simple to start.
Tell me what you need
A paragraph is plenty. What it should do, roughly when, and any constraints (budget, size, quantity).
We scope it
I'll come back with an approach, a rough timeline, and a price — fixed-scope or hourly, whichever fits.
I build & hand off
You get the hardware, the firmware/code, and the files — documented so you're never locked in.
