Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHans-Christian Egtvedt is a technical leader and embedded software engineer with 13+ years building Linux-based products, from low-level boot and driver code for 8/32/64-bit microprocessors to higher-level system services for telepresence endpoints at Cisco. He specializes in C and embedded C, with hands-on experience across Buildroot, Qt and Android stacks, and a pragmatic focus on code quality, testability and agile delivery. His background at Atmel and contributions to projects like crosstool-ng—updating toolchain support and fixing GCC build issues—reflect deep toolchain and kernel expertise. Comfortable owning technical customer support, training teams with hands-on workshops, and stepping into leadership roles, he pairs systems-level curiosity with practical hardware review experience including schematic and PCB routing. Based in Oslo, he prefers Linux development but relishes the challenge of bare-metal and constrained OS environments, bringing a blend of long-term product focus and low-level craftsmanship.
