Summary
Firo Yang is a seasoned Linux and kernel engineer with 14 years of experience, currently focused on upstream kernel work and L3 support at SUSE while seeking a Linux/kernel role in Japan. His background spans embedded BSP development, SELinux and IMA backports, kexec initrd verification, vDSO and extensive Yocto/RPM build-system work from contracts at Wind River and others. He has hands-on experience writing kernel modules, QoS implementations for OpenWrt-based routers, and migrating legacy platforms to newer kernel features. Not obviously, he pairs deep low-level engineering with a philosopher’s curiosity—reflected in a long-running self-styled “Philosopher” role—bringing thoughtful problem framing to complex debugging and backporting challenges. Fluent in cross-team collaboration, he has a track record of upstream contributions and pragmatic solutions for product environments. Based in Liaoning, China, he is ready to relocate to Japan and open to contact for kernel-focused positions.
