in a galaxy far far away

I can work on contract, on premise or on your defined projects. I've developed few projects here, mostly in my spare time and a lot of them are just for personal needs.
I can work on hardware, software and everything in between as an embedded engineer, devops, analyst or whatever it takes related to the IT field.
I believe electronics, human interfaces and hardware should be the foundation bricks of the modern world and that's why I'm focused on them when needed. I'd like to expand my hardware/electronics/software projects and disclose them to the public to improve machine interaction.
Creating open source projects have costs (just like everything else), mostly related to development time and physical resources, that's why even a small income could help. Creating a community might be the focus point around them as well.
I'd like to create open source libraries and hardware (sensor, home automation related MCUs, embedded devices) and third party software for better interaction with popular cloud services (AWS, GCS, github api, ...).
Create affordable open hardware tools to build your own appliances from scratch (pcb milling machine, 3d printer, generic milling machine) and required software to run it. For a maker having low cost tools is essential for prototyping.
Create open hardware devices: robots, personal assistants, home automation appliances for real world interaction and have notifications, feeds, info data sent to personal or cloud services (github, slack, aws, google, ...). As embedded engineer this means total coverage from: engineering, toolchains, firmware+OS and so on.
Last but not least hacking consumer devices to create alternative firmware or use cheap goods for your own needs. Sonoff devices, dafang cameras, esp8266 based things, fitbit like trackers and so on. It does not make sense to engineer an already existing product you already own.
Software is still my first love so create public solutions or libraries for my (or your) special needs seems to be essential for my (and probably even your) world. Being supported when I do what I love is priceless.

Publish more open source code based on current projects, you may choose which one would go first and I'll work on it.

$50 a month

Select

Purchase lab material and consumables for some serious tests on hardware/firmware. Everything from lab material (multimeters, low cost/refurbished oscopes, wave generators) to low cost production tools like: 3d printers, lasers, milling machines. Consumables (filament plastic for 3dP, drill bits, dremel consumables) are somewhat important as well in order to create reliable devices.
No money will be spent on proprietary firmware or software. opensource and multiplatform tools are the foundation of each single project. No windows only software, each single project will always run on linux, osx, win (Android where applicable). Big thanks on it as well :)
