Hi there, I’ve carefully read your brief and can deliver this compact audio player—faster than expected—thanks to my background in mechatronics and nearly five years designing low-power consumer devices and PCBs. I’ve worked with all components and features you’ve listed: ESP32-class audio pipelines, microSD/FAT32, Bluetooth 5.x A2DP (Source) to headphones/speakers, optional DAC for wired output, 2–3" E-Ink displays, joystick/encoder UI, USB-C Li-ion charging/power management, and ultra-compact layouts (≤ 4×5 cm) with resume, playlists, and metadata. I handle the full stack: schematic, PCB, firmware, and enclosure fit, with attention to battery life, EMI, and audio integrity. Send me a message and I’ll share a clear plan and timeline to get you a working prototype quickly. Best regards, Samuel Tshibangu
