Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVasiliy Ulyanov is a Senior Software Engineer based in Berlin with over a decade of hands-on experience building system software across desktop, mobile and in-vehicle infotainment platforms. He combines deep kernel- and driver-level expertise (C/C++, ASM) with middleware and UI work, and has led teams delivering connectivity and virtualization features for automotive and cloud-native products. At SUSE he focuses on virtual machines and containerization, and his open-source contributions to kubevirt include secure, robust container disk management and Btrfs subvolume handling. Vasiliy’s background includes building FullMAC wireless drivers, QEMU graphics enhancements, and dynamic binary instrumentation—skills that make him equally fluent in performance optimization, static/dynamic analysis, and complex debugging. Known for pragmatic leadership in Scrum teams, he pairs low-level technical depth with practical system architecture and build-system experience (Yocto, GBS). An interesting detail: he routinely bridges embedded Linux internals with large-scale virtualization projects, a combination that few engineers sustain across both automotive and cloud domains.
