Hardware needs software? Here is the prescription.

It is writing the software that runs inside a device or machine — a medical instrument, a farm controller, a factory unit — so the hardware does its job reliably on its own.

Firmware is the low-level software that controls a device’s hardware directly: it reads the sensors, drives the motors and screens, and keeps the device running when nobody is watching.

Yes. Often it is a lean embedded Linux with only what the device needs, which boots fast, has a watchdog and runs one job. Whether that or a simpler approach is right depends on your hardware, so we say so at the start.

An IoT platform connects many devices to the cloud: each one sends its readings, and you see them on one live dashboard with alerts when something is wrong.

Yes — operating systems and microelectronics, with work in the medical, agricultural and industrial fields. Where a product needs formal certification, we say so at the start and tell you what we can and cannot cover.

It depends on the hardware and what it must do, so there is no honest price list. We start by listening, agree the smallest useful first version, and give you a fixed quote in writing.
