Senior🎓
Top SchoolFelix Kuehling is a seasoned kernel and graphics driver architect with over 16 years at AMD, currently leading the ROCm kernel mode driver and maintaining KFD in the upstream Linux kernel. Trained in Computer Engineering and Complex Adaptive Systems in Berlin and Gothenburg, he began with distributed simulation and machine learning research and transitioned hobby contributions to X.org, Mesa and the Linux kernel into a professional career at ATI/AMD. He has driven Linux and Android graphics stacks as an individual contributor, technical lead and project manager, shaping both kernel drivers and user-space frameworks like Gralloc and SurfaceFlinger. Beyond code, Felix combines long-term open-source stewardship with hands-on hardware-adjacent tinkering—he’s an avid cyclist, ukulele player and Argentine Tango dancer—bringing a pragmatic, systems-level perspective tempered by creative curiosity.
