Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAntoine Ténart is a Principal Software Engineer with 13 years of experience specializing in Linux kernel, networking and embedded systems, currently driving kernel networking work for Red Hat and RHEL/OCP with an upstream-first approach. He has a strong open-source pedigree—480+ kernel patches from his Bootlin tenure, significant Buildroot contributions, and co-authorship of the Retis networking debugger combining Rust and eBPF. Antoine pairs low-level device driver and SoC support expertise with build system and DevOps skills (Yocto, Buildroot), and he regularly turns that knowledge into training materials and global workshops. Comfortable across the full stack of embedded Linux—from U-Boot and firmware packaging to kernel networking control and data paths—he also brings practical system administration experience. Colleagues rely on him for customer-facing debugging, R&D and high-quality upstream reviews, and he retains a hands-on ethos reflected in tooling and CLI improvements he’s made across projects.
