Hello, Our team specializes in embedded systems and IoT-based hardware-software integrations, including automated retail and smart vending technologies. We develop full-stack solutions combining hardware control, touchscreen UIs, and secure multi-payment integration (Cash, NFC, EMV card, UPI, etc.) with cloud-based remote monitoring. Skills & Trust: Expertise in Android/iOS, React.js, Node.js, Laravel, REST API, JSON, XML, C++, and embedded systems. We design robust device-side firmware with MySQL/MongoDB cloud databases, touchscreen interfaces, secure payment gateways, and real-time telemetry using MQTT/WebSocket. Git-based CI/CD ensures maintainable code across all hardware and software layers. Do you have a preferred vending hardware platform or custom casing in mind? Should remote monitoring support telemetry like sales reports, inventory, or fault detection? Will the UI be multilingual or need OTA updates? Let’s discuss your hardware specs and development roadmap. Profile: https://www.freelancer.com/u/humanspdy Best regards
