Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolQuentin Schulz is an Embedded Linux and Kernel Engineer with 11 years of experience building and upstreaming BSPs, drivers, bootloaders and Yocto/Buildroot-based build systems. Based in Vienna, he has contributed 100+ patches to the mainline Linux kernel since 2016 and regularly presents at Embedded Linux Conferences, reflecting deep involvement in open-source communities. His work spans Linux kernel subsystems, U-Boot, device trees, WiFi/Ethernet PHYs, and package/build tooling improvements for OpenEmbedded/BitBake and Buildroot. Quentin pairs hands-on debugging and board bring-up experience with technical writing and training (including Yocto courses), and has a track record of turning vendor BSP changes into upstream contributions. A former BSP maintainer who also hunts down subtle licensing and build-performance issues, he is especially comfortable bridging vendor requirements with community-driven solutions.
