Embedded development
Firmware that stays maintainable, and integration over SPI, I2C, CAN, UART, BLE, and similar buses. Boards include ESP32 and SAMD21/51. Linux, RTOS, or no OS.

About Altware Development
Altware Development LLC is a privately held company started during the development of Blackout Comms.
I have been a software developer at large and small companies since around 1999, with solo projects before that. Alongside Blackout Comms, I am occasionally open to consulting if a project is a good fit for this kind of embedded work.
Blackout Comms is architected to be customizable and extendable. The published firmware is not the ceiling of what the platform can do.
Embedded UI
Interfaces for small touchscreens and LED displays, where performance and clarity are the same problem. ChatterBox is the sample. LVGL, GFX, or something else.
Off-grid comms
ChatterBox is the device and firmware side of the off-grid protocol: LoRa, mesh, asymmetric encryption, frequency hopping, and digital signatures.
