Gabriel Jacobo is an electronics-trained firmware and systems engineer with 14 years building mass-market embedded products and leading Core OS work for Silicon Valley clients while based in Mar del Plata, Argentina. He has driven embedded graphics and RTOS optimizations for top-selling smartwatches, led systems for a flagship device, and implemented toolchains and build systems (Conda/GCC migrations) that materially improved team productivity. At Oculus he works on Linux kernel fixes, AOSP customizations and display subsystems, and he’s an active SDL contributor improving Android, Linux and Wayland backends. Comfortable across C/C++, Python and web stacks, he bridges low-level hardware tweaks, custom graphics stacks and cross-platform ports (including SDL integration to run a single codebase from embedded to browser). A practical problem-solver, he’s also delivered silicon-focused improvements and static analysis deployments that enabled longer battery life and smoother product launches.
