Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndreas Henriksson is a freelance Linux architect with 19 years of hands-on experience designing and hardening embedded and system-level software across Swedish tech firms and his own consultancy, TuxTribe. He has deep kernel-adjacent expertise and a strong track record contributing bug fixes and feature work to major open-source projects like iproute2, NetworkManager, util-linux and libarchive, including fixes for integer overflows, ISO9660/Joliet handling and iwd Wi‑Fi integration. Comfortable across backend, DevOps and systems engineering, he modernized tooling (XDG config migration for glab) and improved build and multiarch compatibility for broad platform support. His work is pragmatic and detail-oriented—focused on stability, portability and correctness—rather than flashy new frameworks. Active in Debian and other community ecosystems, he combines long-term maintenance experience with consulting for embedded Linux customers.
