Garrett Makes It · Orlando, FL

Converging mechanics, electronics, and code.

Independent engineering services and technical advisory for teams building real products. Embedded systems, control, software, and prototyping — from a working answer to a half-formed question to a full multi-month build.

What I do

Capabilities

Engineering services and technical advisory across hardware, software, and the integration in between.

Embedded systems & firmware

Firmware and real-time control for connected hardware — from bare-metal drivers to closed-loop algorithms running on silicon. ESP32, STM32, RTOS, and the signals that make them useful.

Control systems & automation

From sketch to working unit. PCB design, 3D-printed enclosures, CNC parts, and electronics assembly — the physical artifact you can put in a customer's hands.

Software & web applications

Web apps, dashboards, internal tools, and the platforms that make data and hardware useful. Equally happy building a one-week internal tool, a full SaaS product, or the cloud infrastructure underneath.

Prototyping & fabrication

From sketch to working unit. PCB design, 3D-printed enclosures, CNC parts, and electronics assembly — the physical artifact you can put in a customer’s hands.

How I work

Three principles

01

Iterate against reality

Simulations are useful, but the real test is hardware on a bench. Every design loops back through measurement.

02

Cross the disciplines

The bug is rarely in just the firmware or just the mechanism. Solving it usually means seeing all the layers at once.

03

Ship the working version

Working solutions, not theoretical designs. The deliverable is something you can plug in and use.

Have something to build — or a hard call to make?

Hardware, software, both — or just stuck. Tell me about it.
