Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexey Skidanov is a Senior Software Engineer and Linux Kernel specialist with 11+ years designing high-performance, low-level software for storage, networking, and embedded SoCs. He has led kernel driver architecture and performance optimization at companies including Intel, Apple and AMD, and built production NVMe and user-space block frameworks as well as upstreamed major SoC drivers. Alexey’s work spans PCIe peer-to-peer and InfiniBand cluster interconnects, NUMA-aware DMA into GPU memory, and in-band ECC/error recovery for complex hardware-software interfaces. Known for bringing up boards and shipping device drivers for motion controllers, frame grabbers and industrial I/O, he blends deep OS internals knowledge (scheduling, memory management, interrupts) with pragmatic systems engineering. Based in Tel Aviv, he combines R&D leadership with sustained open-source contribution and a track record of defining HW/SW interfaces that survived silicon and production constraints. An often overlooked strength is his repeated role unifying hardware architects and kernel teams to turn fragile prototypes into maintainable, upstreamable kernel subsystems.
