Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMikhail Lappo is a Lead Software Engineer based in Munich with a decade of experience specializing in low-level systems, embedded Linux/Android platform bring-up, and automotive gateway development. He has deep expertise in bootloaders, kernel/OP-TEE integration, secure boot chains, power management and OTA update systems across ARM SoCs such as Renesas R-Car Gen3 and i.MX series. His background spans hardware bring-up, kernel and platform internals, and hands-on debugging with tools like Lauterbach and oscilloscopes, enabling him to optimize boot processes and field-update workflows for production vehicles. At Intel he worked on lossless system tracing and platform enablement, and his open-source contributions show pragmatic fixes for build systems and low-level C/C++ robustness (notably in projects like Perfetto and TWRP). He combines architect-level thinking with practical build/release and packaging experience (Conan recipes, MSVC/clang compatibility fixes), making him effective across development, tooling and release pipelines. Known for squeezing performance from constrained systems, he frequently blends kernel-level solutions with secure, production-ready embedded engineering.
