Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSamuel Angebault is a software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in low-level Linux, embedded systems, and DevOps for networking platforms. Based in Angers, France and currently at Arista Networks, he has contributed significant kernel driver fixes and backports for the SONiC project, resolving hardware-specific DMA and MMC issues on Broadcom and Arista platforms. He pairs that kernel expertise with practical boot and image infrastructure work—building and refactoring installer and buildimage tooling, implementing bootloader abstractions, and improving Aboot support and secure-boot workflows. Samuel’s background from EPITA and long-running open-source contributions show a pattern of preferring abstractions that generalize specific use cases, enabling repeatable, platform-aware solutions across switch firmware and deployment pipelines.
