Firmware, cloud and AI for connected products
Documented, reviewed and tested on your actual hardware, so the next engineer who opens the repo doesn't start over. One team from the sensor to the map.
Two weeks. If the Sprint isn't worth it, you don't pay.
Connected products and map platforms we helped build
Built on
Hardware, firmware and cloud usually come from three vendors, with one founder holding them together. The bugs don't live inside any of them. They live in the gaps.
The last vendor leaves firmware with no documentation and no tests. The next engineer can't trust it, so they start over, and you pay for the same board twice.
Most teams design the product first and find out what FCC, CE and RoHS want afterwards. Moving a radio after layout isn't a sprint.
Firmware, edge AI, connectivity and maps, covered by one team.
C and C++ on FreeRTOS and Zephyr, on ESP32, STM32 and nRF. OTA updates and secure boot from the first commit, with every build tested on a real board.
Firmware and embedded →
Models that run on the device when the decision can't wait for the cloud, as on Multotec's ESP32. And AI agents and LLM features inside the product your users touch.
See Multotec's edge AI →
MQTT, BLE, LoRaWAN, cellular and Matter, on AWS backends. IoT platforms you own outright with no per-device fee, like the one we built for NESS.
IoT platforms →
PostGIS pipelines, Mapbox front ends and field maps your users act on. When a map bill gets out of hand, we trace it back to what the device sends.
Geospatial and maps →Built AI-native
Specs written before code, AI agents in the daily workflow, and a tech lead who reviews every pull request before it merges. AI speeds up the work; it never skips the review or the test on real hardware.
"They use AI in a very clever way to help improve [their] quality and time."Koko Tuinstra, CEO, Georama · Clutch, verified
Multotec · industrial mining · edge AI
Mining equipment runs where connectivity is limited and every byte sent costs something. Streaming raw vibration data to the cloud and deciding there is slow and expensive. So for Multotec, we moved the decision onto the device.
A model running on the ESP32 itself reads vibration patterns and decides which telemetry is worth sending. The cloud gets the readings that matter, not the noise.
Vibration patterns are read on the device, in C++ on FreeRTOS, so the decision doesn't wait for a round trip to the cloud.
Firmware and models can be updated across the fleet without anyone driving out to a site.
A ThingsBoard fleet dashboard shows every device and the events it chose to send.
One team wrote the firmware, put the model on the board and built the fleet view, so nobody had to stitch three vendors together.
"They listen to the problem and deliver software that works at a fair cost."James Trace, R&D Head of Engineering, Multotec · Clutch, verified

NESS Fertigation · Precision agriculture
NESS's field controllers ran on ThingsBoard, a generic IoT platform with per-device fees. We rebuilt it as their own multi-tenant platform: remote fertigation scheduling, real-time alarms when pressure drops or a sensor fails, and field maps showing every farm at a glance. NESS owns the code. Phase two is under way.
Hawk-Eye · AgTech remote sensing
Visual and far-infrared imagery streams in from remote fields and becomes plant-stress, thermal and soil-trend views growers use to guide irrigation, with years of crop history searchable in milliseconds. A grower using it told Itri he wished it had existed 20 years ago.
"I could say what I needed, and ByteNana turned it into code."Jim Etro, CEO, Itri Corporation
Rehinged · Web GIS, San Diego
Our engineers worked inside Rehinged's team on Web GIS, geoprocessing, data orchestration and DevOps, on the client's hours and sprint cadence.
"We were impressed with their flexibility and skills."James Sagar, CEO, Rehinged

★★★★★"The team at ByteNana is top tier. They always know how to accomplish whatever programming project I throw at them. They're easy to work with and always friendly. I highly recommend!"
★★★★★"They were enthusiastic and a good listener."
★★★★★"The application is running, has clients, and is making money."
★★★★★"They delivered exactly what was asked of them."
★★★★★"The ByteNana team has done a wonderful job on a complex project with a lot of dynamic parts. They've scaled up and down quickly with different types of resources for different GIS and engineering requirements."
★★★★★"ByteNana can do anything and everything and has always exceeded our expectations."
★★★★★"These databases allow our inside sales team to reach out to prospective customers and grow our business. Bruno is responsive, professional, and delivers on exactly what's agreed upon."
Part-time or full-time · retainer or hourly
Have engineers but no one running them? We place a tech lead in your team. Need someone to own the decisions? A fractional CTO. Led by Nathan Matos Almeida, our CTO, with nearly a decade in embedded systems.
"Nathan is a great team player and contributor. His skills helped improve the product in many ways."Stevan, CTO, Toradex · Upwork review
