Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRicardo Cañuelo is a pragmatic software engineer with six years of experience building and debugging low-level systems, firmware and embedded Linux across industry and open source. He has delivered device bring-up, driver and bootloader work at Broadcom and embedded/firmware projects at HP and Silicon Gears, then led kernel, testing and ChromeOS regression efforts at Collabora. An active contributor to fwupd—adding initial BlueZ support and improving core device handling—he combines hands-on C/kernel work with system integration and lab automation for real hardware fuzzing and CI. Now at Igalia, he continues to bridge vendor firmware update ecosystems and upstream kernel development, often uniting documentation, testing and code fixes to accelerate real-device support. Based in Granada, he brings a practical blend of low-level debugging, cross-vendor enablement and open-source collaboration that helps devices actually get updatable in the field.
