Summary
Angelo Arrifano is a seasoned software engineer with 26 years of experience combining kernel and embedded systems development with academic research in networks, image processing and digital holography. He has driven low-level firmware and driver work for early mobile platforms (Linwizard) and led open-source firmware projects for embedded devices, with contributions that made their way into the Linux ecosystem and a long-standing role as a Gentoo developer. His research produced multiple papers on multiple description coding and JPEG2000, and he completed internships and a doctorate-focused fellowship at I3S/CNRS working on robust video and holographic transmission. Currently at Dolby Laboratories, Angelo blends product R&D, OS/kernel development and system-level engineering for multimedia applications. Multilingual and cross-cultural from work in Portugal and France, he brings a rare mix of hands-on embedded expertise, academic rigor and practical product delivery. An early adopter of experimental holography and maker-driven “pet projects,” he consistently turns curiosity-driven prototypes into production-grade software.
