Summary
Iyad Qumei is a senior software engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience building developer infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and embedded firmware validation for safety-critical and consumer products. Based in San Jose, he has led build and release transformations at companies from LG and Magic Leap to autonomous-vehicle teams at Argo AI and Zoox, architecting hardware-in-the-loop test environments and enterprise tooling for certification. He combines deep embedded Linux and firmware expertise with DevOps and cloud-based scalability, repeatedly turning fragile release processes into automated, auditable delivery pipelines. Notably, he has bridged low-level kernel and BSP work with high-level CI orchestration, making him as comfortable backporting kernel fixes as designing enterprise disaster recovery for build systems.
