Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFabian Eckermann is a Senior Engineer with 8 years of experience in electrical and communications engineering, currently focused on vehicular communications (V2X) to advance automation in intelligent transport systems. Based in Dortmund, he combines a strong academic foundation from TU Dortmund and Yıldız Teknik with hands-on development at Software Radio Systems, where he contributes to open-source cellular projects. His backend contributions to prominent projects like srsRAN (4G EPC components) and the srsRAN O-RAN CU/DU codebase show deep protocol-level expertise—refactoring F1 setup procedures, adding E1AP PDU handling, and improving radio and network configuration handling. He favors pragmatic, standards-aware engineering (e.g., replacing inet_addr with inet_pton) and excels at turning complex telecom specs into robust implementations. Colleagues value him for bridging theoretical communications concepts with production-grade software in the SDR/telecom space.

srsran/srsRAN_4G
Feb 2018 - Apr 2022
Open source SDR 4G software suite from Software Radio Systems (SRS) https://docs.srsran.com/projects/4g
Role in this project:Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:56 commits, 5 PRs, 1 comment in 4 years 3 months
Contributions summary:Fabian made several contributions focused on the srsRAN 4G software suite's EPC (Evolved Packet Core) components. Their work included modifying the MME (Mobility Management Entity) to read APN (Access Point Name) configurations. They also added configurations for RACH (Random Access Channel), PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel), PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel), and other radio configurations, indicating a focus on improving the system's functionality. Additionally, the user updated the use of network utilities and replaced inet_addr() with inet_pton() to improve code.
