Top School

Daniel Krebs is a Hardware Software Engineer based in Berlin with 18 years of cross-disciplinary experience building embedded systems, Linux-based applications, and C/C++ libraries. He combines low-level skills—x86 assembly, FPGA/VHDL exposure, and electronics—with higher-level expertise in UI toolkits (GTK+, gtkmm, GNOME) and API/library design. At OMICRON and previously KDAB and WIEMOS he delivered both hardware design and production-grade software, and his long-standing contributions to sigrok/libsigrokdecode show attention to stable ABIs, memory safety, and build-system hygiene. A committed open-source maintainer and GNOME contributor since the early 2000s, he brings pragmatic engineering with an emphasis on optimization and robust tooling. Colleagues rely on him to bridge hardware and software boundaries, turning complex device constraints into elegant, maintainable code.
