About Helix Embedded
Senior leadership.
Full ownership.
Real results.
I'm Timothy Adu. Most embedded products fail at the seams: between hardware and firmware, between bench and field, between prototype and production. That gap is where pilots slip and budgets disappear.
Helix Embedded exists to close that gap. You get senior embedded leadership with clear accountability: the same person setting the technical direction is the one responsible for the outcome.

Client feedback
From a client
I worked with Tim over a 5 month period to develop my battery product, and from the get go he was patient and enthusiastic. He knows his work, and does it tirelessly. I learned so much, and I'm so grateful for all the work he did for me. I hope I get to work with him again in the future when we go into production.
