Summary
🤩
RockstarMichael Galassi is an expert software engineer with over three decades of deep experience in UNIX, embedded systems, storage, and multiprocessing, currently driving core technologies and FPGA-software integration at Grass Valley. He has a long track record of solving hard I/O, clustering, and volume-management problems—designing cluster membership managers, low-latency file distribution, and auto-update mechanisms to extend product lifecycles. His background spans kernel and driver development, OS bringup, bootloader design, and RAID/volume fencing across companies from Frye Electronics to IBM, VERITAS, and ARRIS. Based in Oregon, he blends low-level systems craftsmanship with practical product-focused solutions and a knack for making aging systems interoperate with modern hardware. A co-inventor on a US patent and seasoned implementer of boot/firmware environments, he brings rare cross-domain fluency between software, gateware, and hardware.
