Is it possible to be freelance electronic engineer?

Hi, First of all, forgive my poor English.
I've completed my bachelors degree in electronics and communication engineering. But I am from an underdeveloped country Nepal located at south Asia. I have sound knowledge for the subjects in this field and my interest is in electronic circuit design and embedded systems. There are no opportunities for this field in my country and i cannot change my geographical location due to some family problem. Besides I have a good knowledge of programming in languages like java, c/c++, python, matlab, and some markup languages like html, xml along with javascript. I am currently working as an android application developer, but this field doesn't satisfy me because my real interest is in electronic circuit design and embedded systems.
I've seen people freelancing software projects, they just do their project in sitting in a place without being involved in any office.
Is it possible to do the same for electronic circuit design projects and embedded system projects (project using cad tools like altium designer, multisim, pspice etc.. or some other way)? If possible then from where should i start to reach my dream? Please Help me I am in a great confusion and cannot take any decision regarding my career.

Hi Sauqat,
yes, it is possible, but you will have to work very hard at it, and be prepared to have times when you are overwhelmed with work, or have none for long periods. I work in a rural area in New Zealand, but I am not far from a small city(one hours drive), population about 300,000. I find my work there, so don't need to advertise. Sounds to me that you are going to have to rely on the Internet for starters. You will need to get a web site (if you can't do that from where you live, you may have to at least share some space somewhere where you can), and you will need to get a link to your site on as many well known and well used web sites as possible to get your web site a high ranking, so that people searching will find yours quickly. You could start by doing a few projects that you initiate yourself, that are good enough to demonstrate your abilities, and get the projects out onto the web. It is not easy working in a commercial environment, customers have high expectations, and you have to be able to deliver, so the first projects that you do for a client are quite critical to your success. I have found that getting parts and PCBs done remotely is the easy part, since all of that can be done via the internet. The biggest issue for you might be getting PCBs loaded, plenty of companies are able to do this remotely, but you have to develop a good working relationship with them, and be prepared for a lot of net traffic in the process. There are many other issues, I am sure that other users of the forum will be able to offer some more help, best of luck,
Richard
