Critical engineering hires
Define the real problem, find the right embedded, firmware, FPGA or electronics engineers, and assess depth beyond keywords.

that ships.
I help companies building real products make better technical decisions, from the systems they design to the engineers they trust to build them.

Most people see a CV.
I see the system behind it.
I started in electronics and firmware, close to the hardware: C, assembly, RTOS, networks and the gap between documentation and reality. That experience still shapes my work. I ask what is really happening underneath the abstraction.
Depth where it matters.
From a single critical hire to a full hiring push.
Technical hiring advisory
Role architecture, interview design and second opinions when a bad decision costs more than an empty seat.
