Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPeter Vicman is a seasoned embedded systems and backend engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining low-level Linux-based media and networking software from Slovenia. As a researcher and long-term contributor to projects like LibreELEC, CoreELEC and Kodi, he has deep expertise in kernel, driver and bootloader integration for Amlogic, imx6 and various TV tuner/network devices. His work spans SIP signaling development for telecom products at Iskratel and academic research, blending telecom protocol design with practical device-level engineering. Notable open-source contributions include driver implementations for Sundtek and HDHomeRun, fixes to libwebsockets for broader OpenSSL compatibility, and stability improvements in Kodi’s playback core. He’s comfortable navigating cross-disciplinary constraints—optimizing build systems, package dependencies and hardware support simultaneously. Colleagues rely on him for durable, low-level fixes that keep media and telecom systems interoperable in the field.
