Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolOskar Senft is a Staff Software Engineer based in Cambridge, MA with 13 years of experience building low-level systems, full-stack applications, and leading technical teams. At Google he has progressed from software engineer to Staff (TLM), driving complex projects and mentoring engineering teams across infrastructure and platform domains. His background spans embedded Linux, kernel and firmware work—evidenced by notable OpenBMC contributions adding board support and sensor integrations for Aspeed BMCs and TYAN server boards—alongside decades of C, C++, C# and Java development. He combines deep hardware-software integration expertise with production-grade release and debugging experience from roles at Magnitude, Kalido and Sirrix. Comfortable moving between kernel modules, cloud-scale services and front-end systems, he’s often the go-to engineer for thorny profiling and build/release challenges. Colleagues benefit from his blend of systems-level craftsmanship and pragmatic ownership of end-to-end delivery.
