Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcelo Couto is a seasoned software developer based in Rio de Janeiro with 15 years of experience spanning embedded systems, firmware, networking, and kernel-level work. He currently develops at Cartesi and has built firewalls, eBPF tooling, and Linux kernel integrations at Ring-0 and CUJO AI, often combining C, Lua, and low-level networking plumbing. His background includes embedded real-time frameworks, PCB prototyping, and automation with Ansible, Docker/Podman, QEMU and Python, giving him a rare full-stack hardware-to-kernel perspective. Marcelo holds a master's in computer science from PUC-Rio and brings practical research rigor to production systems. Quietly prolific across GitHub and GitLab, he tends to bridge the gap between protocol-level diagnostics and usable automation rather than chasing flashy surface features.
