Senior🎓
Top SchoolPaulo Facó is a Senior Embedded Software Developer with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and hardening embedded systems, now focused on secure networking at Cisco in Montreal. He has led architecture and implementation for ultra-low-latency NICs and smart metering firmware, shipping Linux kernel drivers, TPM/secure-boot features, and FPGA offload interfaces using C/C++ and modern CI toolchains. As a technical leader he blends low-level bare-metal expertise (ARM, MSP430, PIC) with system-level security and automation—writing testable code, kernel modules, and extensive bash/python tooling for build and remote testing. Paulo’s background includes regulatory approvals and international collaboration in hardware-centered products, an uncommon mix that helps him bridge firmware, OS, and production-readiness concerns. He holds an MEng in Teleinformatics and consistently emphasizes testability, repeatable CI/CD, and pragmatic security in embedded product development.
