About me
I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience specializing in Linux systems, distributed computing, and data analysis. I am passionate about systems engineering, with hands-on expertise in building Linux kernels from scratch using tools such as Yocto, advanced command-line (Bash) scripting, and C/C++ development in both kernel and userspace. My work spans across hardware and kernel-level development, supporting both high-throughput networking applications and data-intensive systems such as camera and Network Interface Card platforms requiring real-time processing. Thrive in Agile environments.
