Software Development & Electronics Prototyping
I develop electronic and software prototypes, including circuit designs, embedded firmware and working software proofs of concept. Based in Newtownards, Northern Ireland, I also help businesses develop custom software and connected devices in development and test environments.
From an internal tool or ageing system to a connected device idea, tell me what you’re trying to achieve and I’ll work out a sensible next step.
