Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMartin Jansa is a seasoned embedded systems and build engineer with 17 years of experience specializing in OpenEmbedded/Yocto, webOS, and Linux-based distribution maintenance. Based in Prague, he has been a core OpenEmbedded maintainer and drives build automation, CI/CD, and toolchain integration for projects ranging from webOS OSE to Raspberry Pi and ROS, often fixing complex cross-compilation and dependency issues. His contributions to high-profile repos like bitbake, meta-qt5 and meta-browser show deep familiarity with build internals, packaging, and platform-specific tweaks (e.g., GStreamer, Qt5, Clang). Comfortable across C/C++, Bash, Python build scripts, J2EE and databases, he pairs low-level systems expertise with long-standing release and CI stewardship. An early GNU/Linux smartphone distro maintainer (SHR) and webOS-ports contributor, he combines a hacker’s curiosity with production-grade automation and reproducible builds.
