São Paulo, Brazil
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGustavo Romero is a seasoned FOSS low-level engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in Linux, kernel and JIT compiler work, and performance optimization. As a committer to GDB, OpenJDK, Apache TVM and an active QEMU contributor at Linaro, he bridges toolchain, emulator and embedded ML runtime development for Arm architectures. His recent focus is on adding CPU features and device models to QEMU and optimizing TVM for ARM MCUs, including microTVM automation and Zephyr RTOS integrations. Gustavo’s background spans hardware enablement, build-system automation and serial-port debugging—skills honed at IBM and in large-scale infrastructure migrations. Based in São Paulo, he combines deep systems expertise with practical build and board bring-up experience, often solving issues few higher-level developers encounter. Colloquially a biologist-turned-low-level hacker, he brings scientific curiosity to tricky cross-layer tooling problems.
