Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which option is right for me?
If you have a design and want a sanity check before committing to a build, start with the Hardware Risk Review. If you need someone to actually build or fix something, that's hourly work. Not sure? Book a quick call and we'll figure it out.
Do you offer discounts for longer-term projects?
Yes, for projects requiring ongoing work or substantial hours, we can discuss package rates tailored to your specific needs. Retainer arrangements are available.
What kind of work do you take on?
I specialize in early-stage hardware development: electrical design, rapid prototyping, firmware development, and mechanical enclosures. I don't typically take on regulatory compliance as a solo engagement, but I'm happy to collaborate alongside teams who do. I do not work on military or defense projects.
What's your typical process for new projects?
Most projects start with a short call to understand your goals and constraints. From there, I'll scope out deliverables, timeline, and a rough estimate. Once we're aligned, we get to work. I provide regular updates along the way.
Do you work on-site or remotely?
I primarily work remotely from Austin, TX, but I'm happy to collaborate via video, async updates, and shared tools. For the right project, on-site visits may be possible.
How does billing work?
The Hardware Risk Review is paid upfront after the fit check. For hourly work, I typically bill bi-weekly and expect invoices to be paid within one week.
