Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJean-paul Etienne is a Principal Embedded Linux and Android OS Engineer with 11 years of deep experience in kernel and board bring-up, device drivers, bootloaders, and full embedded system architecture. Based in Barcelona, he has led hardware integration across WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular, camera, power management and NAND subsystems, and has a track record of adapting open-source stacks and cross-toolchains for production devices. He combines hands-on low-level development (C/C++, ARM assembly) with system-level responsibilities—CI, build systems, server tooling and team leadership—gained at companies from startups to ARM and Intel. As a co-founder and principal engineer he uniquely blends product-minded engineering with pragmatic firmware craftsmanship, often stepping into hardware debug and production test workflows. Not obvious from titles: he has repeatedly solved tricky platform issues such as ECC/bad-block NAND adaptations, SDIO WiFi fixes and audio transport hacks for phone-terminal integration, showing a penchant for creative low-level problem solving.
