Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolManuel Bessler is a Sr. Embedded Linux Software Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building and maintaining low-level systems for ARM and MIPS platforms. He combines deep expertise in Linux kernel and driver development, Yocto/OpenEmbedded builds, and CI automation with practical skills in FPGA, electronics, and real-time systems gained from medical device and STB projects. At Cisco he architected containerized, repeatable build infrastructures and led IPv6-enabled IPTV deployments, while earlier work optimized high-throughput Python networking and migrated complex service stacks to PostgreSQL. Known for bridging hardware and software, he’s comfortable debugging FPGA/Verilog issues, crafting device drivers, and tuning systems for line-rate performance—skills that make him equally effective on firmware, platform tooling, and CI/DevOps challenges. Based in the Raleigh-Durham area, he brings a pragmatic, systems-oriented approach and a track record of reducing time-to-deploy for embedded products.
