Embedded Linux Consultancy
I’ve been working as a software engineer for a few years now. In my 9-to-5 job, I mainly deal with system infrastructure: Docker, Python, and occasionally some C. But outside of work, I’ve been diving deep into Linux and embedded programming on ARM platforms.
What started as a hobby, tinkering with Linux systems and hacking on Raspberry Pi projects, gradually became my main focus and passion. I found myself spending more and more time building, experimenting, and learning how Linux can be used to create real-world devices. I also started designing a few PCBs, printing some 3D enclosures for them, and suddenly I began looking at everyday objects like my router, smartphone, or ebook reader as Linux systems that someone out there had designed and built. But figuring out how to build one wasn’t as straightforward as reading a book about programming.
Since I’ve been working in Linux userspace for my entire professional career, I figured that if I also add drivers, board bring-up, Linux device tree, and U-Boot—together with subsystems such as I²C, GPIO, SPI, USB, Ethernet, and PCIe—I would be able to create all the essential pieces of a Linux device. I realized I didn’t just want to keep this as a side hobby, I wanted to put my energy into creating real devices and sharing that work with others. And if I can even earn a buck that way, all the better.
From my experience in small companies, medium-sized businesses, and corporations, I know how challenging it can be to coordinate multiple teams. My idea is simple: instead of struggling with a dozen different groups, you only need to “struggle” with one person—me. I believe that a single well-organized, hardworking engineer can sometimes deliver more value than several teams weighed down by coordination overhead. I’m willing to put that belief to the test.
I don’t know yet if this venture will succeed, but I’m eager to try. As a first step, you can follow my social channels for updates on my first embedded Linux consultancy project: an ebook reader built on the STM32MP1.
