Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRam Lavi is a Senior Software Engineer with six years of focused RT/embedded and DevOps experience, currently driving infrastructure and testing improvements at Red Hat. He has a strong track record modernizing embedded products—from migrating train connectivity systems from VxWorks to Linux to building network-aware smart devices—and brings deep C/C++ and Python skills combined with low-level debugging expertise. An active open-source contributor, Ram has improved reliability in prominent projects like kubevirt and coreos-assembler by hardening tests, refining network scenarios, and adding device mapping features. Colleagues rely on him to orchestrate complex, multi-process systems and to simplify tricky networking and hardware interactions; less obvious is his knack for turning brittle test setups into repeatable automation that scales across CI environments.
