Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Kjellerstedt is a Senior Software Engineer with 26 years of experience specializing in embedded Linux, build systems, and media streaming for networked surveillance cameras. At Axis Communications he leads development of the Poky/Yocto-based firmware build system and frequently acts as technical lead on complex projects. He brings deep practical expertise in Git/Gerrit workflows, BitBake/Yocto internals, GStreamer, and video streaming protocols (MPEG‑4 part 2, H.264, RTSP/RTP). An active open-source contributor, he has improved core OpenEmbedded projects like bitbake and meta-gstreamer1.0, delivering robustness and cleaner dependency management. Comfortable across C/C++ and scripting languages (Perl, Python, shell), he balances low-level debugging with cross-team tooling improvements. Based in Lund with an MSc from Lund University, he quietly combines decades of field-hardened embedded knowledge with pragmatic DevOps instincts.
