Summary
Romain Perier is a Technical Leader and Embedded Linux/kernel engineer with 15 years' experience building high-performance, deterministic systems for ARM SoCs and constrained embedded platforms. He leads BSP and Yocto work (project lead for meta-rockchip), contributes upstream to the Linux kernel for Rockchip devices, and architects kernel and userspace solutions to meet hard real-time requirements such as 200–500µs data acquisition. Comfortable from low-level driver development to distribution and security policy design, he has delivered secure Zynq and i.MX-based products, integrated AppArmor, and debugged performance with eBPF and perf. A lifelong hacker who started coding at 17, he pairs rapid learning and energetic leadership with deep open-source collaboration, evidenced by sustained contributions to Poky, Yocto, and mainline Linux. Based in Toulouse, he combines research-grade rigor from CNRS/Inria projects with hands-on industrial delivery.
