Top SchoolKathirvel Kadarkarai is a Principal Engineer with 11 years of professional experience specializing in embedded Linux systems, device drivers, and board bring-up across platforms such as Tizen, ChromeOS, Android and core embedded Linux. He has deep hands-on expertise in ARM-based kernel and driver development, Linux kernel debugging, and end-to-end board support from bootloader to user space, with practical protocol knowledge in USB, PCI and Bluetooth. At Microchip he leads application-level engineering while his prior roles involved porting kernels between boards and versions and shipping production-ready firmware. Comfortable across many languages (C/C++, Java, Python, Perl, Ruby, etc.) and familiar with web front-ends, he pairs low-level systems rigor with curiosity for new technologies and power-management research. An engineer who moves fluidly between kernel internals and higher-level application concerns, he often bridges hardware constraints to deliver reliable embedded solutions.
