Custom Electronics

Are you building a device that needs a programmable brain? It could be a sensor that emails you alerts, a robot, a networked toaster, or anything in between. If your device needs to interact with both the physical and digital worlds (also known as physical computing), we can build a micro controller to handle it. We’ll help determine how to detect the event you’re interested in, what the software will do, and what action the device will take. Projects range from new products for small companies to interactive art installations to hobbyist designs. We rely on the popular and trusted Arduino controller, allowing for fast prototyping and reliable results.

Testimonials

“I hired Bryan last year to help us design and deploy a new Linux based virtual cloud. He is a network and systems administration expert and I highly recommend him.”

John Roberts, CEO, X2Engine

“Bryan was AWESOME. He was able to quickly target a problem that we were unable to figure out for a long while. He got us back up and running in no time and was very pleasant and unintrusive. We were very happy with the experience. We will definitely call if we need help again.”

Zoe Lane, Grants Manager, Panta Rhea Foundation

“Zimmer and Associates were awesome, they owned the project with their massive network security knowledge! More importantly in my opinion, they seemed relaxed and communicated clearly with a customer they had just met.”

Gabriel Barr, Manager of Information Technology, Bhea's Computer Services

“Our network was a huge mess, but Bryan wasn’t daunted. He calmly and expertly diagnosed our situation, and knowing that we were on a budget made smart recommendations for new equipment to buy. Bryan was a pleasure to work with. He’s smart, personable, and knows his stuff.”

Jeremy Neuner, CEO, NextSpace

“Zimmer and Associates have done a number of sophisticated server configuration projects for me. Each time they do the work well in a fraction of the time it would take me to do it badly. Successes are seldom recognized sufficiently. Bryan is a huge success for my business.”

Jim Moser, CEO, Cairn Applications

“Bryan Zimmer is an exceptional security professional who quickly recovered our company’s website from a compromise that embarrassingly infected our site visitors with viruses. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, and is a skilled professional with strength of character and personal integrity.”

Jason Greenberg, Media Lab Manager, Land of Medicine Buddha

“We are so lucky to have you in Santa Cruz and San Jose! Thanks for being the local smart arm of the NextSpace IT department!”
