Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSteven Cooreman is an embedded software security lead with 11 years of experience building secure enclaves and low-level firmware for 32-bit wireless MCUs at Silicon Labs. He progressed from software engineering manager to lead developer and architect of the company’s secure enclave, combining hands-on driver and low-power timer work with system-level security design. Steven has a strong open-source footprint—contributing mbed-os support and optimized drivers for Silicon Labs EFM32/EFR32 platforms, including hardware-accelerated mbed TLS enhancements. Educated across Belgium, Finland and the USA, he brings an international engineering perspective shaped by early electronics hobbyism and exchange semesters. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, security-first solutions that bridge device constraints and robust cryptography.
