Javier Silva is a Team Lead in Embedded Development with nine years of hands-on experience designing Embedded Linux platforms, kernel drivers, and C-based device firmware, now leading embedded teams at Geotab. He blends deep low-level expertise with modern practices—introducing TDD and owning CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins—to improve quality and delivery velocity. Javier is an active open-source contributor (notably improving the popular AppIntro Android library) and a frequent speaker/organizer in the Python community, helping run PyConES. Academically grounded with an MSc in Embedded and Distributed Systems and further leadership training (including programs linked to MIT and UP Madrid), he pairs technical depth with people-focused mentorship. Not obvious from his title: he’s self-taught across mobile and web stacks (Python, Kotlin, React/NodeJS) and has built tooling for mass process execution that he’s presented publicly.
