About

I’m Carl Joyce, a Microelectronics and Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience designing electronic products, building embedded firmware, and developing software applications across Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS. I enjoy working across the full engineering stack, from schematic capture and PCB layout to embedded development and application/UI work. I can help ideas move confidently from prototype to reliable real-world products.

I’ve been directly involved in engineering services for Australian companies, including work in renewable energy, battery-operated IoT, home automation, environmental monitoring, aquaponics and water quality systems, and mining/surveying projects. As a co-founder and director of Invent-Tec, I focus on delivering clear, dependable engineering outcomes, collaborating closely with clients, and turning requirements into robust hardware and software solutions.
