Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Doyle is a seasoned senior software engineer based in Cupertino with two decades of hands-on experience across embedded Linux, build systems, and secure platform engineering. He excels as a pragmatic generalist who moves problems to completion—whether debugging ARM kernel boots with JTAG, designing automated Debian build and CI pipelines, or implementing Secure Boot and cryptographic signing at scale for NVIDIA. As ONIE project lead he shepherded a widely used open-source network installer, improving emulation, build tooling, and Jenkins workflows for 200+ platforms while fostering contributor collaboration. Comfortable in both corporate and community settings, he has repeatedly reduced costs and boot times, automated complex supply-chain builds, and created developer tools that minimize security overhead. His blend of low-level firmware experience and large-scale release automation makes him a rare engineer who spans silicon-to-cloud delivery.
