Summary
Maxime Coquelin is a Principal Software Engineer based in Caen with nine years of deep expertise in Linux kernel architecture, device driver design, and low-level debugging. At Red Hat he drives complex virtualization and DPDK-related kernel work, building on earlier roles at STMicroelectronics and ST-Ericsson where he led ARM SoC bring-ups, upstreaming to mainline, and on-site customer support for set-top and Android platforms. He maintains ARM platform code on kernel.org (STi professionally, STM32 as a hobby), underscoring a long-standing commitment to upstream collaboration and embedded systems. Comfortable with post-mortem RAM dump analysis and JTAG workflows, he brings a forensic approach to stabilizing production kernels. Known for translating challenging silicon bring-up issues into maintainable upstream patches, he combines systems-level rigor with pragmatic customer-facing engineering.
