Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolClément Péron is a Software Architect based in Paris with 14 years of hands-on experience in embedded systems, Linux BSPs, and real-time software for diverse SoCs and IoT platforms. He has progressed from embedded engineer roles at Withings, Devialet and Ledger to technical leadership at Outsight, combining low-level firmware work (U-Boot, device trees, boot/partition handling) with system-level OTA and real-time delivery. A pragmatic contributor to notable open-source projects like LibreELEC, sunxi-boards and PcapPlusPlus, he brings practical hardware enablement skills—adding device support, fixing DRAM detection and smoothing cross-compile/CI workflows. His background shows deep expertise in secure boot chains, embedded C and FreeRTOS alongside modernizing build systems to C++11-era practices. Notably, he has bridged product and platform concerns, shipping secure blockchain-related features on Ledger devices while also improving manufacturability and update mechanics for embedded fleets. He blends firmware-level rigor with architectural thinking to make complex hardware-software stacks reliable and maintainable.
