Why Scheftech?

I have extensive experience in developing boot loaders, device drivers, in-kernel communications protocol stacks and other firmware for embedded systems and Unix/Linux PCs.

Everything is new. Is the problem hardware or software?

My experience encompasses both low level software and hardware design allowing me to have an understanding of the entire system I am developing.

As much of my work involves brand new systems, I am frequently required to simultaneously debug new hardware and new software using code debuggers, logic analyzers and oscilloscopes. I'm a kernel programmer who's comfortable using a soldering iron.

A wide range of architectures

I have developed kernel and application software for x86 PCs and embedded systems based on SoCs with various cores (ARM, Power PC, ColdFire, MIPS) including my own hardware designs, prototypes of customer hardware and development systems provided by the processor manufacturer.

Need someone for a specific project rather than years?

I am available for contract work and offer the flexibility to match your varying project demands.

Ready to get started

I have a development environment setup at my location including cross compilers, protocol analyzer, logic analyzer and oscilloscope. I just need a sample/prototype.

Working primarily with easily-shipped embedded systems, I generally perform the bulk of the development at my location, but am quite willing to be on-site for the initial and deployment stages of projects throughout North America.

I am used to working with geographically distributed teams using e-mail, phone, Skype, AIM/IM, Wikis and VPN connections for CVS/SVN access to the team's shared base of code.
