Project type
One-off MVP build for a hardware-integrated system with a simple mobile control interface.
CORE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
1. Event-Driven System Design
Experience building systems triggered by real-world events Comfortable with state, escalation, and time-based logic Understands false positives and signal noise
2. IoT / Hardware Integration
Has integrated motion sensors or physical inputs Familiar with edge or local controllers (not cloud-only assumptions) Understands unreliable environments (Wi-Fi dropouts, latency)
3. Automation & Orchestration
Can design rule-based automation Able to adjust logic without rewiring hardware Comfortable with webhook-driven workflows
4. Voice / Audio Integration
Experience integrating voice, audio output, or conversational systems Understands real-time interaction vs pre-recorded audio Comfortable working with external APIs for audio generation
5. Backend & Integration
REST APIs, webhooks, JSON payloads Can log events cleanly Can expose data for a simple app interface
6. No-Code / Low-Code App Experience
Experience with Adalo, Bubble, Glide, or similar Understands non-technical user flows Can keep UI extremely simple and reliable
OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS (IMPORTANT)
Can work milestone-based (not open-ended) Provides clear documentation Comfortable handing over work Honest about limitations Available for short post-delivery support window
COMMUNICATION REQUIREMENTS
