Summary
Alexei Smekalkine is a seasoned engineering leader specializing in Linux kernel, virtualization and embedded systems, currently heading the Network Solutions Development Group at NumaTech. With over two decades of hands‑on systems programming in C, assembly across many architectures, and scripting, he blends low‑level kernel work (Linux, XNU, OpenBSD) with practical firmware and hardware-level tinkering. His background spans security-certified cryptographic products, router and storage systems, and virtualization (Xen/QEMU), reflecting both product delivery and research-driven development. Alexei pairs formal language and DSL expertise with real-world device bring‑up—he’s as comfortable writing parsers as he is soldering under a microscope. Based in Russia, he has led teams through requirements analysis, design and certification cycles, delivering robust networked and embedded solutions. His rare mix of deep kernel/firmware knowledge and hands-on hardware skills makes him a go-to problem solver for complex system integration.
