Software Consulting & Architecture

Architectural and technical support for embedded projects. I work as a technical partner — helping you plan, design, and execute your project.

Service Details

  • Role : Consultant / Architect
  • Model : Project Partnership
  • Technologies : C, C++, Rust, Linux
  • Platforms : STM32, nRF, ESP32, Linux
  • Experience : 15+ years in embedded

🎯 Does Your Embedded Project Need Support?

Recognize the warning signs:

  • Project is stuck — Team doesn’t know how to solve a technical problem
  • No architecture — Code grows organically, without a coherent vision
  • Technical debt — Every change introduces new bugs
  • Performance issues — System doesn’t meet timing requirements
  • Missing competencies — New project requires knowledge the team lacks
  • HW/SW integration — Problems at the hardware-software interface

If any of these points sound familiar — I can help.


🤝 My Offer: Partnership Approach to Projects

I work as a consultant and architect who helps companies plan, design, and execute embedded projects. I’m not a “task executor” — I’m a technical partner who shares responsibility for project success.

Model A: Supporting Your Team

If you have your own engineering team, I can step into the role of architect or tech lead.

ServiceDescription
System architectureI design structure tailored to requirements and team capabilities
Technical specificationI define requirements that eliminate ambiguities
Technical oversightI ensure code quality and alignment with design
Problem solvingDebugging difficult issues (timing, race conditions, hardware)
Code reviewRegular reviews and team mentoring

Result: Your team develops competencies while the project moves in the right direction.


Model B: Delivery with a Dedicated Team

If you don’t have a software team or need additional specialized competencies.

ServiceDescription
Team buildingI select experts for your specific project
Project managementI lead execution from concept to deployment
Full deliveryI deliver complete solution with documentation
Post-deployment supportI don’t disappear after project handoff

Result: You receive a working product without building your own team.
