I do 2-3 week technical architecture reviews for hardware-first startups building robotics, IoT, and edge AI systems. Get clarity on what will scale and what won't—before your Series A.
Hardware-first startups that need architecture clarity before they scale
Robotics, IoT, and edge AI companies that need architecture reviews before they scale. You're building something that processes data at the edge, works when networks fail, and needs to handle sensitive information correctly.
You know your domain but need an outside technical assessment. Someone who's built edge-first systems to review your architecture and identify risks before they become expensive rewrites.
Raising capital soon and need to answer: 'Will this architecture scale to 1,000 units?' or 'How do you handle privacy/compliance?' I help you get those answers before investors ask.
I'm building the same types of systems you are
I learned CAD and CNC machinery at seven, watching someone with three years of formal education build systems for nuclear submarines. That taught me technology is for anyone willing to learn and work hard.
Then I spent ten years mastering software development. And now I'm back building robotics with OrbCare—a HIPAA-compliant health monitoring system that processes everything at the edge.
The interesting problems are where hardware and software collide. Most startups treat their robots like web apps—and pay for it at Series B with expensive rewrites. I help you avoid that by reviewing your architecture before it becomes too expensive to fix.
Early exposure to manufacturing and automation, 10 years in software development, now building robotics with OrbCare. I understand both sides of hardware-first architecture.
Hands-on experience building HIPAA-compliant systems with edge-first, privacy-by-design architecture. I know what survives regulatory scrutiny because I've built it.
Deep experience with real-time systems, edge computing, and building devices that work when networks fail. This is what I'm building with OrbCare—systems that function offline.
I can identify architectural decisions that will break at 100 units, 1,000 units, or 10,000 units. Better to know now than during Series B when rewrites cost millions.
A structured 2-3 week process to assess your architecture and identify risks
Clear, straightforward pricing for a 2-3 week engagement
Detailed compliance gap analysis and implementation roadmap for HIPAA certification
Investor-ready architecture diagrams and technical risk mitigation slides
Hands-on help executing recommendations (can lead to ongoing fractional CTO arrangement)
For my first 3 clients: $12,500 (instead of $15,000) in exchange for a detailed testimonial and permission to use your project as a case study.
This helps me build proof while you get the same thorough architecture review at a discount.
Systems I'm building that demonstrate hands-on experience with edge-first, privacy-by-design architecture
These aren't consulting projects—they're systems I'm actively building. They demonstrate my hands-on technical expertise in the exact problems hardware-first startups face: edge computing, real-time processing, privacy-by-design, and HIPAA compliance.
HIPAA-compliant health monitoring system using edge AI for infant and elderly care. Demonstrates my hands-on experience with edge computing, real-time systems, privacy-by-design, and PHI handling.
Conversational AI for health tracking and medication adherence. Experience with AI architecture, health data integration, and building HIPAA-compliant systems from scratch.
Want to see the technical architecture decisions behind these projects? Let's talk about your architecture challenges
The specific architecture problems I help hardware-first startups solve
The advantages of working with someone who's building the same types of systems
Building OrbCare, I've faced the exact same choices: edge vs cloud, offline-first design, HIPAA compliance, real-time processing. I'm not giving you theoretical advice—I'm sharing what actually works.
I'm launching Ferreira CTO with architecture reviews as the core offering. You get someone who's invested in delivering excellent work and building a reputation—not someone phoning it in between other clients.
