Yunqiang Su is a Debian Developer with 16 years of experience specializing in low-level systems, compilers, and MIPS architecture support. He has contributed to prominent open-source projects such as libffi and the LLVM project, improving MIPS instruction encoding, soft-float handling, and target-specific code generation. His professional path spans roles at Imagination Technologies, Wave Computing, and a director-level software position, reflecting both hands-on engineering and leadership experience. Based in Beijing's Haidian District, he blends deep compiler internals knowledge with practical firmware and backend fixes that keep critical toolchains working across architectures. An unusual strength is his background in surveying engineering, which suggests a methodical, measurement-driven approach to debugging and platform optimization.
