Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJakub Duchniewicz is a seasoned embedded systems engineer with 10 years of experience delivering low-level firmware, OS drivers, and hardware/software integration across Linux, seL4 microkernels, and real-time 5G/LTE stacks. He excels at diagnosing root causes where specifications are incomplete and systems are unstable, turning cross-layer bugs into shippable solutions and optimizations—from FPU regressions to virtio-based virtual networking. Jakub has led teams, driven production releases, and contributed to both commercial and open-source projects (including editorial improvements to the widely used fastai/fastbook), showing a rare mix of systems rigor and attention to clarity. Based in Poland, he combines hands-on bring-up and performance tuning with experience in FPGA/ASIC-adjacent development and fuzz testing, making him particularly effective on hard integration problems that span hardware and software.
