No polished package names, no fake tiers. Just the kinds of work I can sit down with, understand, build, test, and talk through honestly.
You have an idea and need to know if it can work in real life. I can take a sketch or 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 less fragile. I help with schematic design, moving from breadboard to perfboard to PCB, and writing embedded code that can handle the real world better than a demo can.
Some projects do not fit a template. RC vehicles, interactive installations, gadgets that do one specific unusual thing well - those are the projects I enjoy most. Bring me the odd 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.
I can support practical field work involving IP cameras, analog CCTV systems, and electrical panels — from installation and setup to maintenance and fault finding.
I can install, configure, support, and troubleshoot IP camera systems, including cable routing, PoE setup, recorder connection, network checks, and full system testing to make sure cameras are online and recording correctly.
I can also work on analog CCTV systems, including cabling, power connections, DVR setup, signal testing, maintenance, and troubleshooting for existing or upgraded installations.
I can support, maintain, and fix electrical panels inside the box, including organized wiring, component layout, labeling, inspection, and troubleshooting for control panels and low-voltage electrical systems.
Send me what you're working on and I'll answer plainly - 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.
