Summary
Alexander Ivanov is a seasoned software developer with 12 years of experience and a decade-plus focus on Linux kernel development, C/C++ systems programming, and USB and storage subsystems. He has a strong track record at Virtuozzo and D-Link building kernel fixes, kpatch/livepatch tooling, ReadyKernel infrastructure, and QEMU contributions, with upstream commits visible in both QEMU and the Linux kernel. Based in Belgrade, he combines deep low-level debugging and vulnerability investigation skills with practical tooling and release automation for production kernels. Comfortable in open-source collaboration, he routinely backports and reworks security fixes to make them suitable for livepatch delivery. Early career work across embedded router systems and desktop/database tools gives him a rare blend of embedded, networking and user-facing backend experience. He is actively seeking opportunities to apply his kernel expertise to challenging infrastructure and security-focused projects.
