Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuís Reis is an educator and technical mentor with eight years of professional engineering experience and a decade-plus background in R&D, specialising in digital and analogue electronics, SystemC TLM, FPGA/ASIC design, and embedded Linux. He combines hands-on low-level engineering—driver and kernel work, bare-metal ARM development and Python tooling—with leadership roles in R&D and vocational education, currently directing courses and mentoring often-overlooked vocational students in Portugal. A practical systems thinker, he has driven sustainability programmes that recycled school hardware and improved institutional processes, demonstrating an ability to turn technical fixes into lasting organisational change. Luís also contributes to well-regarded embedded Linux training materials (Bootlin), where he improves kernel and cross-compilation labs, reflecting a commitment to reproducible learning and tooling. Comfortable bridging academia, industry and education, he brings a rare blend of deep technical craftsmanship, training experience and pragmatic product delivery.
