Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandre Belloni is a seasoned embedded Linux engineer and COO with 14 years of hands-on experience bringing up Linux and Android on diverse ARM-based industrial devices and high-throughput network gateways. He combines deep kernel and driver expertise (RTC, I3C, Microchip SoCs) with bootloader work—having contributed to barebox/u-boot adaptations and Yocto/OpenEmbedded BSPs for NXP/Freescale and Rockchip platforms. An active open-source maintainer and contributor to projects including the Linux kernel and OpenEmbedded wic tool, he has fixed low-level hardware bugs, added RTC and USB support, and improved Yocto image tooling and GPT handling. His background spans networking and security (UTM, NAT, VOIP protocols) and real-world performance tuning, from ASQ packet filters to accelerating SSL VPNs. Now co-owner and COO at Bootlin, he pairs technical leadership and training experience with a pragmatic focus on product bring-up and reliable embedded systems delivery.
