Kevin Smith is a seasoned C/C++ software engineer with two decades of experience building real-time, embedded, and system software across bare-metal firmware, RTOS, Android, and Linux kernel drivers. He has a track record of shipping production firmware and platform bring-ups—from Cortex-M4 and ColdFire bare-metal stacks to Cortex-A9 Linux/U-Boot systems—and has driven low-latency trading infrastructure and kernel-bypass packet capture at Cboe. Comfortable across devices and datacenters, he blends deep systems-level expertise (device drivers, ADC/SPI/I2C, networking) with pragmatic tooling and visualization utilities that improve developer productivity. Based in Kansas with an MS in Computer Engineering, he’s equally at home optimizing template-heavy C++ for HFT as designing telemetry and satellite communication modules for embedded products.
