Send a hardware issue or project brief.
Not sure if it fits? Send a short description of the circuit, prototype issue, validation gap, or review need. No detailed files are required in the first message. I'll reply and tell you whether I can help, what I'd need next, and whether a call is worth scheduling.
No detailed files are needed in the first message. If the project looks like a fit, an NDA can be arranged before sharing sensitive material. Conflicts of interest screened against current and recent work before any engagement is accepted. See full FAQ.

NDA, if the brief needs it
Happy to sign your standard mutual NDA before any sensitive technical detail is shared. If you don't have a template, I'll send one.

Short call if it's worth it
If there's a fit, we set up a short call to walk the brief, constraints, timeline, and rough budget — no charge, no commitment.

Scope and quote
If we agree there's work to do: a one-page scope, milestone gates, and a fixed-bid or day-rate quote in writing.
Most projects priced as fixed-bid against a written scope. Day-rate work available for advisory and extension engagements — band agreed in writing per project. Pricing depends on scope, timeline, and confidentiality requirements. Full FAQ
