Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Salyzyn is a seasoned systems and firmware architect with over four decades of hands-on experience spanning embedded devices, server-class platforms, storage and networking. He helped pioneer 64-bit Android deployment at Google—code he wrote now runs on billions of phones—and has deep expertise across Unix-like kernels, drivers, filesystems and secure platform features. Mark’s background uniquely blends hardware, DSP and RF design with low-level software (C/C++, assembly across dozens of architectures) and compiler/toolchain work, enabling end-to-end product delivery from silicon to userland. He has a track record of shipping high-availability storage and RAID solutions, authoring standards-influencing protocols and holding patents, while mentoring engineers on architectural techniques. Now semi-retired and consulting on digital, RF and embedded systems, he still builds production electrical, firmware and software stacks using open source toolchains. Outside engineering he’s an avid mechanic, motorcyclist and extra-class amateur radio operator, reflecting a lifelong habit of hands-on problem solving.
