Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSwee Khor is a RISC-V embedded engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building firmware and Linux/RTOS support for processors and SoCs, currently focused on RISC-V Embedded Linux and SDIO controller work. He has a strong background in firmware and FPGA development from two stints at Intel and deep embedded systems experience from Motorola Solutions, spanning boot-time kernel optimizations, PM/BIOS, and graphics/DRM virtualization. An active open-source contributor, he has extended Zephyr to support INTEL NIOSV RISC-V boards and acted as a systems architect in OpenEmbedded to enable musl-x32 across complex build recipes. Based in Penang, Malaysia, he pairs practical board bring-up and device-tree work with build-system and packaging expertise, and has a track record of resolving cross-project build and compatibility challenges that many engineers don’t see beyond driver code.
