Hamburg, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFlorian Kauer is an open source software developer with 13 years of experience building reliable, secure embedded systems and connectivity for lab devices. Based in Hamburg, he bridges research and product engineering—having worked on large-scale industrial wireless networks at TUHH and implemented cloud-connected embedded software at Eppendorf. Florian contributes to the INET Framework for OMNeT++, enhancing physical and link layers (including DSSS‑OQPSK‑16 and IEEE 802.15.4 components) and fixing tricky simulation bugs, showing depth in both protocol modeling and low-level implementation. Now at Linutronix, he focuses on practical open-source solutions that harden real-world products, bringing a blend of academic rigor and hands-on firmware, driver, and imaging experience. An understated strength is his knack for turning complex radio and mobility models into reproducible, maintainable code that improves simulation fidelity and product robustness.
