Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSébastien Bourdeauducq is a hardware-focused software engineer and technology leader with 12 years of experience building open hardware and low-level control systems for physics research. As Director of M-Labs and Managing Director of QUARTIQ, he has driven development of ARTIQ, a leading-edge control system for quantum information experiments, and specializes in firmware-level optimization and hardware integration. Based in Hong Kong and serving on the advisory committee of a university physics department, he bridges academic research needs and production-grade open-source tooling. His career began in embedded networking and Wi‑Fi stacks and evolved into architecting FPGA-based platforms and open hardware routers. He is known for hands-on low-level contributions—adding hardware revision support and debugging peripherals—that reveal deep system-level expertise beyond managerial roles. That mix of open-source evangelism and practical firmware craftsmanship makes him a rare connector between experimental physics and robust engineering.
