Summary
Shivamurthy Shastri is a Staff Embedded Linux Engineer based in Chennai with over 13 years of hands-on experience building and mainlining low-level firmware, bootloaders and Linux kernel drivers across SoCs from TI, NXP, Socionext and Intel. He has driven board bring-ups, Yocto BSPs, fastboot/secure-boot pipelines and upstream kernel/U-Boot patches—having mainlined SPI NAND and other storage drivers and enabled HABv4 secure boot on i.MX8M Nano. Comfortable across SPL, U-Boot, ATF, OP-TEE and full device-tree/kernel stacks, he’s solved boot-time and production security challenges that many application teams never see. Now at Celestica working on OpenBMC, PCIe and kernel device drivers, he combines deep platform debugging with pragmatic integration of customer patches. Colleagues value his pattern of turning board-level quirks into maintainable upstream code, and his career shows a consistent focus on making embedded platforms robust, fast and secure.
