ERBO ENGINEERING

Two engineers.
Full stack for
connected hardware.

We design firmware, PCBs, cloud backends, and user-facing apps for products that need to be smart and connected. Embedded to cloud, one team, end-to-end.

// 01 - what we do

Three things, one system.

01

Connected devices

We design firmware for embedded devices and connect them to the cloud. We choose the right link, implement over-the-air updates, and set up device provisioning.

02

Product platforms

We build the cloud backends, APIs, web dashboards, and mobile apps around your hardware. Production-grade, not prototypes.

03

Technical consulting

Architecture reviews, design critique, unblocking stuck teams, bridging hardware and software groups.

// 03 - about

The team behind the work.

ERBO is a side venture - we each have full-time roles and dedicate one day a week to ERBO projects. That constraint keeps us sharp: no bloat, no busywork, just focused engineering on the problems that matter.

We founded ERBO because companies building hardware products couldn't find engineers who understood both the embedded side and the software side. We bridge that gap.

Bob Thomas

Software & Product

Leads product and engineering at Speaksee, building real-time speech-to-text technology for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Started as a backend engineer, grew into product leadership. At ERBO, Bob handles the software stack - cloud architecture, APIs, web apps, and everything between the device and the user.
