Independent hardware engineering
Practical engineering for hardware that needs to work.
Custom prototypes, fixtures, automation, electronics, and field-ready systems built in the messy space between mechanical design, firmware, and test.
What brings you here
Six starting points so you get to the right page faster — pick the one that fits.
For Employers
A fast path for hiring teams reviewing full-time fit across hardware, embedded systems, test, reliability, and cross-functional ownership.
For Clients
Consulting and freelance support for prototypes, diagnostics, embedded devices, fixtures, and stubborn hardware problems.
Field Notes
Build logs, design tradeoffs, lessons learned, and project notes for readers who want the workshop side of the site.
Portfolio
Project work, systems thinking, and tangible evidence of how the work gets done — across manufacturing test, mechatronics, and embedded.
Engineering Capabilities
PCBs, sensors, microcontrollers, BLE and Wi-Fi control paths, and practical firmware bring-up for real devices.
Store
Hardware kits, PCB controllers, and digital build resources — each one a product of the same bench that produces the Field Notes.
Field Notes
The bench, written down.
Build logs, test notes, design tradeoffs, and the occasional failure. Field Notes is the working journal of the studio — short, specific, and grounded in what actually happened on the bench.

How I Work
Useful when the problem crosses disciplines.
Most worthwhile hardware work refuses to stay in one lane. The best projects here usually involve some combination of CAD, electronics, firmware, bench testing, field troubleshooting, and clear technical handoff.
That makes the site less like a single-service brochure and more like a workshop front door: one path for employers, one for clients, one for readers who mainly want the field journal, and a few more that fill out the corners of the practice.

Use the path that fits. Hiring teams can start with the employer overview, clients can jump into services, readers can head into Field Notes, and anyone looking for physical or digital build artifacts can head to the store.
