Framed as a conversation, not a price sheet. Each of these is something I've done before, enjoyed doing, and would happily do again.
You have an idea. You need it running on a breadboard by next week. I can take a sketch or a rough spec and turn it into a working prototype — component selection, wiring, and the code to make it all talk. Arduino, STM32 Discovery boards, and a growing comfort with ESP32.
Once a prototype works, it usually needs to be smaller, cleaner, and more reliable. I help with schematic design, moving from breadboard to perfboard to PCB, and writing embedded code that won't fall over the first time it meets the real world.
Some projects don't fit a template. RC vehicles, interactive installations, gadgets that do one specific weird thing very well — those are the projects I enjoy most. Bring me the weird one.
Not every project needs someone to build it. Sometimes you just need a second set of eyes on a schematic, a sanity check on a component choice, or someone to talk through whether an idea is worth starting. Happy to do that too — a call is often enough.
If the job is about installation, wiring, setup, or troubleshooting, these are the areas where I can step in and do practical work.
I can help with IP camera installation, cable routing, PoE setup, device configuration, network checks, recorder setup, and testing the full system so the cameras are actually reachable and recording correctly.
I can work on analog CCTV installations too — from pulling coaxial cabling and power lines to connecting DVR systems, checking signal quality, and helping upgrade older setups into cleaner, more reliable systems.
I can support electrical panel work that involves organized wiring, component layout, labeling, inspection, and practical troubleshooting. That includes control panels, low-voltage systems, and neat installation work where safety and clarity matter.
Send me what you're working on and I'll tell you honestly — even if the answer is "that's not really what I do."
A rough sketch of what collaborating with me looks like, so there are no surprises.
A few sentences is enough. I'll come back within a day with questions, not an invoice.
Not a 12-page SOW. Just the outcome, the rough timeline, and the honest unknowns.
Short weekly updates with photos, videos, and what I'm stuck on. No black boxes.
Hardware, code, notes, and a short walk-through so you can actually keep using it.
