Low-level systems work — protocols, device models, and cross-platform portability.
Systems programming, device model design, protocol implementation, and architecture work at the kernel boundary.
You are building something that sits close to the hardware, or spans operating systems, or needs a protocol that has to work reliably across platforms. The abstractions matter. Getting them wrong means rewriting later. You need someone who has designed device models that generated production C code and licensing systems that scaled across thousands of installations.
I design and implement systems-level software. I built the device model for SonoSite's ultrasound platforms — a Python-based model that generated C code, documentation, and test cases. I designed Verasonics' multi-tier licensing system with Salesforce and Postgres integration. I understand interrupt latency, DMA, and what happens when a protocol spec meets real hardware.
Architecture document with component diagrams
Working implementation of the core system
Protocol specification and reference implementation
Cross-platform portability layer if needed
API documentation and usage examples
Scope and complexity determine the price. Fixed fee proposed after architecture review.
How it works
Understand the system
We map out what exists, what the system needs to do, and where the boundaries are.
Design the architecture
Component decomposition, interface definitions, and the data flow model.
Implement and prove
Build the core system and prove it works with real data or real hardware.
Document and hand off
Architecture documentation, API docs, and working code your team can extend.
Why this matters
Architecture designed by someone who has shipped real products
Interfaces that do not need to be redesigned six months later
Code that handles edge cases because the designer has seen them
Cross-platform support without cross-platform regret
