Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMartin Decky is a senior software engineer and computer science researcher with 26 years of experience specializing in microkernel multiserver operating systems and systems architecture. As co-author of the HelenOS microkernel and a contributor to L4Re development, he blends low-level kernel design, cross-ISA assembly expertise (IA-32, AMD64, MIPS, PowerPC) and high-level languages (C/C++, Python, JavaScript) to deliver robust, verifiable systems. His career spans academic research at Charles University and applied R&D and bootstrapping roles at Huawei’s OS labs, where he helped stand up new research centers and led hiring and technical strategy. Based in Dresden, he pairs rigorous formal training (MSc, PhD) with hands-on experience in kernel verification, in-storage near-data processing, and infrastructure engineering. Known in F/OSS circles for sustained microkernel work, he brings a rare combination of deep instruction-set knowledge and practical systems integration to complex, safety- and performance-critical projects.
