Freelance software engineering

Joshua Andreas Wellbrock

Freelance software engineer — Flutter and solution architecture for regulated and industrial systems. Research focuses on AI-augmented engineering and delivery.

I co-authored Agile V™, an open standard for AI-augmented engineering.

Core expertise

I help teams ship reliable cross-platform software where mobile meets hardware and regulated environments.

Flutter

Cross-platform mobile apps with polished UI, smooth motion, and maintainable architecture.

BLE integration

Bluetooth Low Energy between apps and devices — pairing, protocols, and field-ready diagnostics.

NFC

Contactless configuration, identification, and secure data exchange in industrial and mobile contexts.

IoT & embedded

Bridging smartphones with sensors, microcontrollers, and cloud backends in IIoT-style systems.
