Top SchoolMario Limonciello is a Principal Member of Technical Staff at AMD in Austin with 16 years of experience designing and shipping low-level firmware, kernel, and hardware support. Previously a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Dell, he led work on firmware update stacks, managed vendor relationships, and coordinated globally distributed engineering teams. An active open-source contributor to the Linux kernel (notably improvements to AMD cpufreq, drm/amd, ACPI, and audio/display subsystems) and fwupd (including a Thunderbolt firmware plugin, safe-mode Dell handling, and CI/Docker automation), he blends deep systems programming with pragmatic DevOps. His background in electrical engineering and multiple hardware co-ops gives him uncommon cross-domain fluency from silicon and board bring-up through production firmware and kernel integration.
