Rome, Lazio, Italy
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrea Della Porta is a Linux ARM kernel developer with 10+ years designing embedded systems, device drivers, firmware and userspace appliances across ARM and x86 platforms. Currently at SUSE, he brings deep experience in kernel bring-up, cross-compilation (Buildroot/OpenEmbedded), and FPGA-backed embedded software from prior roles at Capgemini and specialized vendors. His background spans low-level C/C++/Assembly on microcontrollers and SoCs, native mobile and game development (Unity/C#), and creating SDKs and protocol-heavy appliances like UAV, radar and payment terminals. Known for pragmatic architecture work—porting legacy SDL codebases, redesigning VLT game engines, and patching kernels for custom boards—he blends hardware-adjacent firmware skills with higher-level app delivery. Based in Rome, he combines decades of hands-on board bring-up with a flair for game and multimedia projects, an uncommon cross-section that helps bridge device internals and user-facing systems.
