Jorge Pereira is a seasoned software development specialist with over 17 years delivering embedded Linux, Wi‑Fi, and digital TV solutions, and more than 25 years of broader technology experience. He combines deep low-level C/C++ expertise across ARM/MIPS platforms and OpenWrt with backend and cloud skills (FreeRADIUS contributions, AWS, Docker, Elasticsearch) to build scalable, secure systems. As a long-time contributor to FreeRADIUS and author of Nginx/Lua tooling at a WAF vendor, he bridges protocol-level networking, AAA/hotspot ecosystems and large-scale security telemetry. He has led embedded teams, mentored engineers, and driven productization of complex middleware (Ginga/DTV, POS integrations, TR‑069 provisioning). Based in Rio de Janeiro, he pairs rigorous troubleshooting and rapid prototyping with hands-on ops experience, and off-hours you’ll likely find him rock climbing or lifting at CrossFit—an indicator of his methodical, persistent approach to problem solving.
