Top SchoolMarcus Schäfer is a software architect with 14+ years of experience specializing in Linux, open source systems, cloud, server and virtualization technologies, currently working at SUSE and Elektrobit. He has led multiple open-source projects at OSInside and SUSE—driving distribution tooling, embedded Linux distributions, and public cloud infrastructure—bringing deep hands-on expertise from YaST and SUSE Studio to modern cloud-native workflows. A pragmatic advocate of the FOSS model, he blends technical leadership with collaborative community practices to produce resilient teams and high-quality software.
