Senior🎓
Top SchoolRui Silva is a Senior Software Engineer based in Lisbon with 12 years of hands-on experience in Linux kernel development, embedded systems, and Digital TV (DVB) technologies. He has spent the bulk of his career at Novabase Digital TV after earlier systems work at Nokia Siemens Networks, delivering robust low-level firmware and platform integrations for broadcast and consumer devices. Trained in Telecommunications and Computing at Instituto Superior Técnico, Rui combines deep protocol and driver expertise with pragmatic engineering for long-lived embedded products. Colleagues know him for tackling complex hardware-software boundaries and translating standards into reliable production code. Quietly practical, he favors maintainable, testable kernel and middleware solutions that survive device lifecycles rather than chasing buzzword trends.
