Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGraham Whaley is a retired embedded and systems software engineer based in Leeds with over 30 years of hands-on experience across firmware, Linux kernel ports, RTOS, SoC drivers and VM/container tooling. He led embedded and kernel teams at Imagination Technologies and later worked as a senior software engineer at Intel, delivering early Linux ports to multi-threaded DSP architectures and managing processor kernel groups. Known as a *nix junkie and profiler, he combines deep low-level expertise with practical experience in tooling such as JTAG debug pods, debuggers, assemblers and profilers. Now focused on personal projects, he continues to explore kernel internals, virtualization and performance analysis for fun rather than shipping product. A pragmatic engineer who moves comfortably between firmware and host-side systems, he brings rare institutional memory from console SDKs through modern SoC platforms. He’s as likely to be debugging a driver as profiling container workloads, and still enjoys geeking out on obscure kernel corner-cases.
