👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Fakhry is a Staff Software Applications Engineer specializing in Embedded Linux with nine years of experience building robust time-synchronization solutions using GNSS, IEEE 1588/PTP and SyncE. Combining an electrical engineering foundation with deep embedded software practice, he excels at translating datasheets and schematics into reliable firmware and Linux applications while methodically tracking down complex timing and hardware-software interaction bugs. He has progressed through roles at Ericsson and Ciena to his current technical leadership at Skyworks, consistently shipping production-grade embedded systems for networking and telecom markets. Known for a practical, hands-on approach, he pairs low-level hardware understanding with system-level design to solve corner-case timing problems few engineers enjoy tackling. Based in Ottawa, he brings both academic co-op experience and industry-tested rigor to projects where precise synchronization and deterministic behavior matter.
