Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolae Pavel is a hands-on Project Lead Developer with over 20 years of experience specializing in embedded Linux, kernel and driver development, and audio/video encoder systems. He has architected and shipped custom OSes and device support across MIPS, ARM and x86 platforms—most recently leading RainMachine’s firmware, drivers and application stack built on OpenWRT and Android. Equally comfortable in C/C++, Python and Qt, he combines low-level kernel expertise with higher-level JNI/Android and networking (CCNA) skills to deliver end-to-end embedded solutions. His background includes building development kits, custom Yocto/Buildroot BSPs, and production-grade streaming and encoding pipelines, reflecting deep practical knowledge of cross-platform constraints. Based in Iași, Romania, he favors open standards and open platforms and is currently not open to relocation. An often-overlooked strength is his long track record of bridging firmware, kernel and application layers to reduce integration risk and accelerate device bring-up.
