The problem
A startup needed a field-ready hardware prototype to validate their product concept with early customers. Off-the-shelf development boards didn't meet the size, power, or interface requirements.
What I built
Custom PCB designed in KiCad integrating the microcontroller, sensors, power management, and wireless connectivity. Enclosure designed for the target environment and fabricated via 3D printing. Firmware written in C with the hardware abstraction layer designed for the production transition.
Outcome
Working prototype delivered for customer validation trials. Details available on request.
