Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAnton Lindqvist is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building low-level, system-focused software and device drivers from Stockholm. A KTH graduate and long-time OpenBSD contributor, he has shipped kernel fuzzing support, fine-grained pipe locking for better SMP performance, and several USB/HID drivers. At Intel and in open-source projects like syzkaller and cppcheck he’s improved platform support, fixed subtle system bugs, and tightened static-analysis checks—work that reflects strong debugging skills and attention to edge cases. He combines production engineering at a large vendor with ongoing upstream contributions, and has a knack for making small tooling and kernel changes that yield measurable reliability and performance gains.
