Summary
Konstantinos Gkougkoulias is an embedded software engineer with nine years of experience blending hardware/software co-design and production-grade Linux/firmware development. He has a strong track record porting and maintaining Yocto-based custom Linux systems for maritime applications and adapting conditional-access security firmware across diverse SoCs at Irdeto. Comfortable across C/C++, Python, Bash, Assembly and tooling like Yocto, MQTT, InfluxDB and Docker, he pairs low-level kernel/firmware work with higher-level PKI and service endpoints. His MSc work on FPGA overlay architectures demonstrates hands-on hardware integration and a focus on practical performance/resource trade-offs. Based in Athens, he brings rigorous academic training from Delft and Patras to complex embedded security and systems problems, and often bridges vendor collaboration with product delivery.
