Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrea Merello is a firmware and Linux device driver developer with 26 years of hands-on experience, currently working in the Electronic Design Lab at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. He blends software engineering with electronic design skills—writing kernel drivers, contributing code to the official Linux kernel, and developing firmware—making him particularly strong on low-level software for hardware. Based in Genoa, he is an open-source enthusiast who prefers transparent toolchains and actively experiments with radio equipment, oscilloscopes, and soldering irons in his spare time. His hybrid background makes him comfortable bridging hardware teams and kernel-level software, especially for device driver development and embedded systems. Colleagues value his continual curiosity and long-term commitment to both practical electronics and robust Linux-based solutions.
