Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClément Léger is a senior software engineer with 12 years focused on embedded systems and Linux kernel development, now working at Meta after recent RISC-V kernel work at Rivos. He brings deep practical expertise in low-level C and assembly, concurrency and parallelism, and a long track record of upstream kernel and OP-TEE contributions including drivers and RISC-V improvements. His background includes full architecture ports from scratch (Kalray KVX), device driver development across ARM, MIPS and RISC-V, and hands-on use of debuggers, logic analyzers and profiling tools. He also contributes to notable open-source projects like the mainline Linux tree and pocl (OpenCL runtime), demonstrating cross-domain skills from kernel drivers to heterogeneous compute. Colleagues rely on him for difficult bring-ups and debugging of SoCs and custom ISAs, as well as clear, upstreamable patches. Based in Grenoble, he prefers direct engineering roles over consulting and is comfortable mentoring teams on low-level system design and tooling.

Trusted side of the TEE
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer & Embedded Systems Engineer
Back-end Developer & Embedded Systems EngineerContributions:388 reviews, 111 commits, 31 PRs in 1 year 7 months
Contributions summary:Clément primarily contributed to the low-level core and driver code for the OP-TEE OS, focusing on the Atmel/Microchip SAMA5D2 platform. Their work involved fixing hardware-related issues, such as resolving register clobbering problems. They added support for new hardware features, including device-tree based system clocks and peripherals, and refactored existing code to improve modularity and maintainability. The user also worked on adding and enabling support for new hardware such as the Atmel TRNG, PM, Watchdog and a PTA for RTC.
