Senior🎓
Top SchoolWim Vervoorn is a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead with over a decade of hands-on expertise in firmware, device drivers, and embedded systems across Windows and Linux. He has driven BIOS and boot firmware projects (coreboot, EDKII, Phoenix, Slim Bootloader) and led BMC development using OpenBMC on AST2400/2500 platforms, combining low-level bring-up with architecture and project management responsibilities. Wim’s background includes filesystem, filter and kernel-mode Windows drivers as well as Linux driver work, making him fluent in both OS internals and hardware integration. He has a long track record founding and leading R&D teams, from Tulip to his own company, translating complex hardware requirements into shipping products. An active contributor to the prominent coreboot project, he’s tackled Intel FSP integration, memory support and display-logo bring-up—tasks that reveal deep platform and system bring-up skills often invisible in higher-level roles. Based in the Netherlands with an electrical engineering background, he blends practical firmware craftsmanship with leadership across the full embedded stack.
