Senior🎓
Top SchoolFabio Berton is an Embedded Software Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in Embedded Linux, Yocto Project BSP integration, and low-level U-Boot and Linux kernel customizations. He has spent the last several years at Critical TechWorks and O.S. Systems delivering board support, device tree and bootloader work for i.MX and Variscite platforms while resolving subtle compiler and toolchain issues. An active open-source contributor, Fabio has improved core OpenEmbedded layers and maintained meta-browser and GStreamer layers—demonstrating strong skills in build systems, packaging, and cross-toolchain patching. He combines hands-on kernel and bootloader engineering with build/release automation, and is comfortable navigating complex dependency and localization challenges in large meta layers. Based in Porto, Portugal, he brings practical embedded systems insight forged through both internships and professional roles across IoT and automotive-adjacent projects. Notably, his contributions include adapting browser builds to evolving compilers and converting multimedia recipes to modern build systems, reflecting a knack for future-proofing legacy workflows.
