Senior🎓
Top SchoolDmitry Rokosov is a Kernel Team Lead with 14 years of deep low-level systems experience, currently heading SberDevices’ efforts on U-Boot, Linux kernel, Android HALs, TEE, security and QEMU-based emulation for ARM platforms. He combines hands-on expertise in C/C++/ASM/Python and a track record of shipping consumer devices (Okko Smart Box, SberBox, SberPortal) with prior leadership building Simics FPGA and x86 simulation features at Intel. A longtime contributor to the U-Boot project—where he improved Android A/B update handling—he bridges firmware, virtualization and security, making him equally at home debugging boot flows or modeling pre-silicon platforms. His background in kernel intrusion research and EFI/firmware tooling gives him an unusual depth in offensive and defensive platform security. Dmitry excels as both an individual contributor and team leader, focused on practical, research-driven solutions for embedded, IoT and virtualization challenges.
