Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAvinesh Kumar is a systems-oriented Software Engineer with six years of experience building and validating Linux environments, kernel tests, and automated QA for enterprise and open-source products. Currently at SUSE, he focuses on systems programming in the Linux ecosystem—authoring and upstreaming Linux Test Project (LTP) cases and improving kernel test coverage to validate bug and CVE fixes. Previously at IBM’s Linux Technology Center he built optimized Linux platforms for embedded and Power systems, packaged RPMs, and back-ported security fixes across architectures including s390x and PowerPC. He combines deep OS internals expertise with practical test automation skills (openQA, os-autoinst) and a track record of modernizing legacy tests and adding syscall coverage like utime, rename, mmap and flock. Based in Prague, he pairs a methodical engineering approach with an uncommon personal discipline—training for marathons when not debugging kernels.
