Summary
Roberto Medina is a Low Level Platform Engineer based in Greater Paris with 11 years of experience building and optimizing embedded and secure systems. He has deep expertise in ARM64 low-level development, kernel subsystems, virtualization (KVM/QEMU) and Trusted Execution Environments, having driven SoC security features at Qualcomm and platform reliability at Huawei. Roberto pairs academic rigor—a PhD in Computer Science focused on real-time and mixed-criticality systems—with hands-on engineering across drivers, bootloaders and OS tuning. He stays current with emerging tech like RISC-V, Rust and eBPF, applying them pragmatically to performance- and security-critical code. Now at Shadow, he focuses on reliability and performance at scale, bringing a rare combination of formal scheduling analysis and practical low-level optimization. Colleagues value his ability to translate research-grade models into production-ready firmware and kernel solutions.
