Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVadim Likholetov is a technical leader specializing in secure OS research and low-level systems design, with over a decade of experience shaping architecture where hardware and software meet. He excels at early-stage problem framing—defining boundaries, drafting the critical path, and delivering the kernel- and hypervisor-level pieces needed to port secure Linux-based OSes to Qualcomm, MTK and Nvidia ORIN platforms. His background spans Linux kernel development, hardware virtualization on x86 and ARM64, secure boot, Rust-based hypervisors, and encrypted storage solutions, and he pairs hands-on implementation with strategic technical direction. As former CTO of a long-running security firm, he repeatedly solved the same hard problem: make a secure OS work reliably on bespoke customer hardware, which honed his skill for pragmatic adaptation across HALs and drivers. Based in Tampere, he brings a mix of systems craftsmanship, product-minded security engineering, and proven leadership in turning platform constraints into deployable secure solutions.
