Firmware
That Works.
Akash Jayswal — Embedded & Robotics Engineer
I write firmware that holds up where it matters — on the factory floor, inside moving robots, under real electrical noise. Five years of building control systems, motor drivers, and industrial comms has taught me that the gap between a prototype and a product is almost always in the embedded layer. That's where I live.

How My Time is Spent
What You Get
A robot fleet that operates without intervention — deterministic navigation, fault-tolerant control, and E-STOP logic tested under real load, not just theory.
Production-grade firmware that survives real-world conditions — deterministic timing, OTA update paths, zero-tolerance watchdog, and clean state machine design.
Motors that do exactly what you commanded — smooth velocity profiles, tight closed-loop PID, FOC for BLDC, and emergency-safe hardware interlocks.
Machines that speak to each other fluently — Modbus RTU/TCP, CAN Bus, RS-232/485, BLE and WebSocket gateways with full CRC validation and error recovery.
An engineer who thinks end-to-end. Mechanical ↔ electrical ↔ software co-design — I build systems that survive contact with reality, not just pass a bench test.
Real-time telemetry, always-on dashboards, and on-device inference — MQTT, WebSocket, cloud relay, and edge-first ML architectures for 2026 and beyond.
From Brief to Deployed — How I Work
I start with your constraints, not my assumptions. Requirements, failure modes, safety boundaries, and existing hardware — fully mapped before a single line of code.
⏱ 1–2 DaysState machines, task priority maps, and communication diagrams before any implementation. You know exactly what will be built before work begins.
⏱ 2–3 DaysIterative firmware development with continuous hardware-in-loop testing. Every subsystem validated independently before integration. Failures documented, not hidden.
⏱ 1–4 WeeksProduction deployment with full documentation — architecture diagrams, protocol specs, test reports, and a handoff session so your team can own it confidently.
⏱ 1–2 DaysThe Journey
Leading AMR firmware architecture — real-time control stacks, motor driver integrations, and industrial comms bridges for production autonomous deployments.
Sensor fusion pipelines, multi-axis PID systems, and RTOS firmware for industrial robotic platforms. Led hardware-software co-design across STM32, ESP32, and Teensy families.
Low-power BLE sensor nodes, edge processing pipelines, and cloud telemetry integrations. Shipped multiple products from prototype to production in fast-paced environments.
Signal processing, digital electronics, microcontroller architecture, and control theory. Built the physics-level foundation that separates firmware engineers from coders.
