Senior๐
Top SchoolLeon Woestenberg is a seasoned embedded systems architect and developer with 26 years of experience designing high-performance FPGA/SoC/CPU systems and Linux/RTOS stacks for domains including HFT, HPC, and broadcast video. He combines deep RTL and hardware-design expertise (SystemVerilog, SpinalHDL, AXI4) with low-level software skills (Linux kernel, Yocto, drivers, bare-metal, Rust) to deliver ultra-low-latency, high-throughput solutions like 100 Gbit/s FPGA NICs and cache-coherent SGDMA architectures. As a consultant and co-founder on multiple startups, he has led over 30 high-tech product developments, often bridging FPGA acceleration, PCIe, imaging codecs and secure, production-ready firmware. His open-source contributions to Yocto/meta-freescale and work on RISC-V CFUs and formal verification underscore a pragmatic commitment to modern, auditable toolchains. Based in Switzerland, he is known as a hands-on technology visionary, team leader and trainer who thrives on translating advanced research into deployable edge and cloud systems.
