Yauhen Kharuzhy is a senior embedded Linux developer with 26 years of hands-on experience getting Linux and firmware running on diverse hardware—from microcontrollers and SoCs to full custom distributions. He combines deep electronics and kernel expertise (author and former maintainer of Samsung S3C2416 support) with practical skills in Buildroot, Yocto, AOSP and Debian packaging, plus firmware and RTOS bring-up. A long-time open-source contributor and co-founder of the OpenInkpot project, he has a track record of upstream patches and real-world driver fixes (USB, RTC, MMC) visible in his GitHub work. He leads teams while staying technical, recently at Softeq after a senior team-lead role, and is comfortable prototyping hardware, writing low-level C and assembler, and scripting in Python/Ruby. Based in Vilnius, he pairs academic training in computer science with an unusual blend of kernel maintenance history and board-level circuit debugging.
