Top SchoolDominik Kilian is a Senior Firmware Engineer with seven years of embedded systems experience, currently building low-level networking and radio features at Nordic Semiconductor from Krak贸w. He contributes to high-profile open-source projects like Zephyr RTOS and nRF Connect SDK, with practical work on IPC multi-endpoint support, dynamic buffer allocation, and an Ethernet-over-RTT driver that speeds development testing. His background spans automotive and industrial firmware at Aptiv/Delphi and HID, giving him strong systems-level debugging and hardware-aware optimization skills. Trained in automation and robotics at AGH, he blends formal control systems thinking with hands-on radio and IPC protocol design, and has a knack for improving concurrency and cache alignment in constrained devices.

Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:181 reviews, 22 commits, 47 PRs in 4 years 5 months
Contributions summary:Dominik implemented a new Ethernet over RTT driver for the nRF Connect SDK, enabling network traffic transfer during development and testing. They also added a sample demonstrating waking up from system off mode by NFC tag detection, specifically adapted for the nRF54H20 platform. Furthermore, the user made updates to the ESB (Enhanced ShockBurst) module, adapting it for the nRF54H20 and adding support for 4Mbit radio mode. These contributions highlight the user's focus on low-level radio and network communication within the nRF Connect SDK.

Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:68 reviews, 17 PRs, 74 comments in 6 years 7 months
Contributions summary:Dominik primarily contributes to the Zephyr RTOS project, focusing on inter-process communication (IPC) and endpoint management within the embedded systems context. Their commits involve modifying existing IPC samples to support multi-endpoint backends and adding dynamically allocated buffers to improve concurrency and reliability in the IPC framework. The user has also implemented deregistration of endpoints, refined the protocol specification, and made improvements to data cache alignment within the context of Nordic Semiconductor's embedded platform.
