Hardware Verification with a Software Developer's Eyes
I bridge the gap between Chinese factory floors and your DCIM/BMS stack. I verify that the hardware you buy actually speaks the protocols your software expects—before the purchase order is signed.

The "Digital-Physical" Differentiator
A sourcing agent checks if the box is pretty. I check if the SNMP MIBs are broken, if the Modbus registers are accurate, and if the firmware is production-ready.
Protocol Validation
Live testing of SNMP, Modbus, BACnet, and REST APIs.
Firmware Audit
Verifying update paths and UI stability in the factory.
Mandarin Support
Direct technical interviews with factory engineering leads.
Data Accuracy
Confirming physical sensor reality matches the digital output.

📋 Real-World Scenario
Step 1: Remote MIB Review
I identified that the vendor’s SNMP OIDs were incorrectly indexed, preventing auto-discovery.
Step 2: Factory Visit
I sat with the PDU firmware team in Shenzhen and secured a commitment to a firmware patch.
Step 3: Validation
Client received units with pre-patched firmware, integrating immediately.
The Result
$20,000+Saved in developer downtime and site-wide labor.
Why This Approach Works
Standard inspection services can't read code. I can.
🎯 Software-Driven
I know what an API needs to look like for a DCIM to actually use it.
🗣️ Technical Mandarin
I cut through sales talk to get real answers from factory engineers.
🔍 Protocol Expertise
Specialized in the "Language of Infrastructure": SNMP, Modbus, BACnet.
💰 Independent
Zero commissions from factories. I work exclusively for your success.
