hardware firmware software

From schematic to cloud, under one roof.

An embedded product needs all three layers, and most teams have to source them from three different places. I take IoT devices from a rough idea to a working prototype you can put in front of customers: the board, the firmware on it, and the software behind it.

One shop, every layer

Engage me for the whole stack, or for the layer your team is missing.

01

Hardware

Schematic capture, board layout, component selection, and bring-up. Designed around what the firmware actually needs, and around what a contract manufacturer can actually build.

02

Firmware

The code on the metal: drivers, radios, sensor integration, power budgets, and an update path that will not brick a unit sitting in a customer site.

03

Software & cloud

The half of an IoT product that is not on the device. Apps, APIs, provisioning, dashboards, and the data pipeline that turns telemetry into something worth looking at.

04

Integration

The part that is nobody else's job. Making the three layers agree with each other, survive a power cut, and keep working after the demo.

Built in-house, running in production

Meshware

The software layer is the part that outlives the prototype, so I built mine rather than rebuilding it per project. Meshware is a device control plane: enrollment, over-the-air updates, health monitoring, remote access, and incident history for hardware deployed somewhere you are not.

It runs real fleets today. When a project needs that layer, it does not start from zero.

meshware-iot.com (opens in a new tab)
  • Fleet Enrollment, inventory, and per-device health across sites
  • Updates Staged over-the-air releases with rollback
  • Access Brokered remote support with no inbound ports open
  • Operations Alerting and incident history you can actually search

Why one shop

Split a product across a board house, a firmware contractor, and a software team and you have bought yourself three schedules, three interpretations of the spec, and a seam between each pair.

The bugs live in those seams, and everyone involved can credibly blame the other two. A sensor gets picked by someone who will never write its driver. A driver gets written by someone who will never see the dashboard. Nobody owns the part where it all has to work at once.

Everyware Solutions is one person across all three layers. Fewer handoffs, nobody to point at, and decisions at the bottom of the stack made by someone who already knows what the top of it needs.

Being one person also sets an honest ceiling on volume. I take a small number of projects at a time and go deep on them, which is the trade that makes the rest of it work.

  • Prototype through pilot production
  • Whole stack, a single layer, or a design review
  • Comfortable under NDA and on customer-owned infrastructure
  • Based in the United States, working remotely

Get in touch

Tell me about the product: what it senses, what it talks to, and where it has to survive. Rough ideas are welcome, since that is usually where this starts.
