From the first circuit to the connected system.
Hardware, firmware and software designed to work together. Built with the person who understands the whole picture.
A connected product is only as good as the connections between its parts. T-SOFT brings electronics, embedded code and application software into the same conversation, from early feasibility through integration and refinement.
Thoughtful electronic design shaped by what the product needs to do, where it needs to work, and how it will be built.
The intelligence inside the product. Close-to-the-metal software that makes the most of the hardware and plays well with the rest of the system.
Turn device data into something useful. Join the physical product to the tools, interfaces and information people need to use it.
Connected-product security assessment to understand where your product may be exposed, and what to improve next. Scope can include Android applications, embedded firmware and hardware interfaces, Bluetooth Low Energy communications, and supporting backend services and APIs.
Start with an architecture and attack-surface review, then agree targeted testing, documented findings, practical remediation recommendations and retesting.
Discuss an assessment ↗Suitability, testing boundaries, permissions, deliverables and exclusions are agreed before work begins. Technical assessment does not constitute certification or a guarantee that every vulnerability will be found.
A new idea. A stubborn problem.
A system that needs to do more.
Start with the right questions. Work through the architecture, component choices and technical risks before committing to a design. Then turn that thinking into hardware and firmware you can test.
Let's explore your idea ↗Work directly with the engineer doing the work. Clear technical reasoning, practical trade-offs and a shared understanding of what success looks like.
Clarify the use case, operating environment, constraints and unknowns. Define the scope before choosing the solution.
Make hardware and software decisions as one system. Prototype the difficult parts early and keep the design grounded in evidence.
Bring up the hardware, exercise the firmware and investigate what happens at the interfaces. Refine until the agreed requirements are met.
I like understanding how things work.
And making them work better.
I'm Terrence Henry, an embedded design engineer and the person behind T-SOFT. With more than 30 years of hardware and software experience, I bring a hands-on perspective to problems that rarely fit neatly into one discipline.
Since 2003, T-SOFT has been my home for independent engineering: bringing circuit design, firmware and application development together to solve practical problems.
The right tools for the job.
Not the other way around.
Tell me what you're developing, what's getting in the way, or what you'd like your product to do next. A few lines are a good place to start.
