Top SchoolSanteri Salko is a Principal Security Engineer with 15 years of hands-on experience building low-level, security-focused software for embedded and platform systems. He combines deep expertise in C and assembly across RISC-V, ARM and x86 with practical work on crypto libraries, TEEs, secure boot, and security extensions for real-time OSes and Linux kernel subsystems (LSMs, SELinux, IMA, TEE drivers). His background spans embedded hardware and FPGA security features, platform driver development and secure porting projects, enabling end-to-end hardening from silicon to OS. Based in Helsinki, he has progressed from trainee roles at Nokia to senior and principal engineering positions at Huawei, demonstrating a rare blend of firmware, kernel and hardware-oriented security engineering. Notably, he regularly bridges research-grade low-level work with production constraints, making complex security primitives deployable in constrained embedded environments.
