Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolArtem Savkov is a senior software engineer with 14 years of systems-level experience and a decade-plus passion for open source and Linux. He specializes in C and low-level system work, complemented by strong scripting skills in Bash and Python and recent hands-on C++23 experience at SentinelOne. At Red Hat he led live kernel patching tooling and upstream kernel contributions, including significant work on kpatch and eBPF backports, and has a public record of kernel patches and activity. Known for relentless debugging and a preference for doing things properly, he also brings practical hardware tinkering and reverse-engineering experience and basic Zephyr RTOS exposure. Comfortable across build systems and test automation — from GNU Make and CMake to GoogleTest and pytest — he bridges architecture, implementation, and delivery. Based in Brno, Artem combines deep kernel expertise with pragmatic automation and container knowledge (Docker/Kubernetes) for production-grade system software.
