Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Marcao is a realtime embedded software engineer with 10 years’ experience designing and shipping low-level Linux and VxWorks solutions for mission-critical systems. Currently at Boeing after a multi-year stint at L3Harris C5 Systems, he specializes in kernel and driver development, real-time performance tuning, secure embedded systems, and virtualization with a reliability-first mindset. He’s delivered measurable wins such as doubling network throughput under deadline, bringing up custom boards ahead of schedule, and designing a bootloader for a new processor architecture. Comfortable across the stack from microcontrollers to cloud-integrated systems (as seen at InductEV), he blends rigorous academic training in electrical and embedded systems with practical hands-on debugging and system bring-up. Ambitious about security and determinism, he seeks problems that combine low-level engineering with system-level design tradeoffs.
