Embedded Linux · Platform Firmware · Systems · Embodied Intelligence

I’m a senior embedded systems and Linux engineer working across production firmware, boot and device security, networking, update systems, and hardware/software debugging. I use this site for technical writing, experiments, living coursework, and research ideas about systems that interact with the physical world.

Writing Technical essays, research notes, project retrospectives, and experiments. Coursework Living systems-engineering courses built around mental models, debugging, measurement, and labs. About My engineering background, current technical interests, and the threads connecting this work.

Current writing

Current coursework

NIC Firmware Engineering Packet paths, DMA, descriptor rings, interrupts, PCIe, drivers, RDMA, and SmartNIC/DPU architecture. OpenBMC & UEFI Platform Firmware BMC architecture, Yocto, D-Bus, Redfish, IPMI, MCTP/PLDM, update, security, and fleet reliability. Performance & Cache Optimization TLBs, caches, DRAM, coherence, memory ordering, atomics, profiling, and low-latency experiments.

The site itself is also iterative. The coursework and writing include a browser-local review system that I use to turn questions and annotations back into revisions. How this site works →
