RockstarAndrey Smirnov is an embedded systems engineer and founder with nine years of professional experience building and upstreaming low-level software for Linux kernel, bootloaders, QEMU, and bare-metal MCUs. Based in Seattle and originally trained in control theory and industrial automation, he has delivered mission-critical firmware and emulation platforms for small satellites, automotive infotainment, and telecommunications.
