Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolClément Faure is an embedded software engineer with nine years of experience building and maintaining Trusted Execution Environments for NXP i.MX platforms. He is the OP-TEE maintainer for i.MX boards and has deep hands-on expertise across Linux kernel, Trusted Firmware-A, U-Boot, Yocto, and hardware cryptographic accelerators. His work spans ARM TrustZone (ARMv7/ARMv8), secure/encrypted boot, and low-level power management, and he also runs CI pipelines for complex embedded stacks. On GitHub he has improved OP-TEE test coverage and extended platform support for multiple i.MX families, demonstrating a pragmatic blend of QA automation and low-level driver development. Prior experience in JavaCard secure element OS and EMV applets gives him a strong background in security-sensitive embedded systems beyond typical firmware work. Based in Valbonne, France, he combines firmware craftsmanship with continuous-integration discipline to deliver reliable, secure platform software.

Trusted side of the TEE
Role in this project:
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:445 reviews, 154 commits, 106 PRs in 3 years 3 months
Contributions summary:Clément contributed significantly to the i.MX platform support within the OP-TEE OS repository, focused on adding support for various i.MX platforms and board flavors. Their work involved modifying configuration files (`conf.mk`) to incorporate new platform flavors for several i.MX processors (e.g., i.MX6, i.MX7, i.MX8), enabling the use of specific hardware components (such as OCOTP), and fixing platform-specific configurations to enhance the functionality and compatibility of the trusted execution environment on the supported hardware. They also re-worked and debugged existing imx-related drivers.
