Summary
👤
SeniorHolger Schurig is a seasoned embedded systems programmer with 26 years of experience designing Linux-based images, device drivers and firmware for industrial hardware, including work on i.MX6 platforms and STM32 microcontrollers. He co-founded the OpenEmbedded project (now Yocto) in 2003 and has contributed roughly 250 patches to the upstream Linux kernel, primarily device drivers. Holger builds turnkey KIOSK and terminal images, develops C++/Qt applications and Python services, and has implemented cross-compilation and containerized build flows for specialized processors. Comfortable at the intersection of hardware and software, he collaborates closely with electronics engineers on device bring-up, automated hardware testing and custom peripherals. He also has RTOS/Zephyr experience for complex logistics devices and a lifelong hobbyist’s background in radio and microcontroller projects as a licensed amateur radio operator. Pragmatic and curious, he now favors practical Debian-based approaches and explores Nim privately for faster, low-friction systems programming.
