Connected Hardware & IoT in Melbourne
I build connected devices that measure, monitor or control something in the physical world. That can mean a temperature sensor, an equipment monitor or a Raspberry Pi display with a custom interface.
The hardware and software need to work together. I help choose the sensors and controller, write the code and build a way to view readings or receive alerts. My electrical background is useful when a project also needs installation work.
Projects start with what you need to measure or control, where the device will be used and how it will connect. Power, connectivity, access settings and future updates are part of that plan. I focus on prototypes and small runs.

Frequently asked questions
- Which controller should I use?
- That depends on the job. A microcontroller such as an Arduino may suit simple sensing and control. A Raspberry Pi can suit projects that need Linux, a screen or more complex software.
- Can you add monitoring to existing equipment?
- Often, but the approach depends on the equipment and available connections. A model number, manual and description of the readings you need will help me assess it.
- Do you manufacture products at scale?
- I focus on prototypes and small runs. If your goal is mass production, we’ll discuss the specialist design, testing and manufacturing work needed beyond the prototype.
- Can you support devices after installation?
- Yes. Updates, troubleshooting and ongoing support can be arranged as part of the project or as separate work.
