👤
SeniorJaewon Kim is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of deep embedded and Linux kernel experience, currently at Samsung Electronics. He specializes in BSP and initial SoC bring-up using emulators like Zebu and Palladium, bootloaders, GPU kernel drivers (ARM Mali and Samsung Xclipse), and memory-sharing libraries for virtual machines. Jaewon has contributed upstream to the Linux kernel across multiple Exynos platforms (including ExynosAuto series), demonstrating a strong track record in hardware-software integration.
