Hey, I'm Nate Armentrout

Hardware innovators often struggle to balance cost, time, and features during product development; or sometimes don't even know where to begin.

If that's you, just relax. I can help rapidly develop prototypes so you can focus on market validation & optimize product-market fit together.

Let's Get Started

Recent Work

Lifelines Neuro

Lifelines Neuro, an innovative leader in ambulatory EEG amplifiers, needed help with various firmware and desktop application projects. Over four years I integrated the company's latest amplifiers into their desktop data acquisition software and rearchitected amplifier firmware to improve performance & reliability while adding interfaces to enable QA testing and hardware virtualization.

Louisville Metro Govt.

Louisville Metro Government struggles with vacant & abandoned property fires, which often spread to neighboring buildings putting families and firefighters in grave danger. I designed, developed & deployed over 150 proprietary solar powered home security systems to detect fires & break-ins more quickly, helping the city improve community safety for neighbors and firefighters.

Pascal Tags

Pascal Tags, a Louisville startup, is developing an exciting new RF identification solution to solve challenging logistics problems. I developed their RF scanner prototype involving mechanical, electrical, and software work over a few months. This enabled the startup to receive some of its first revenue through crucial paid pilot programs with large enterprises.
