I started working with operating systems (sometime around) 2007, on some proprietary OSes (If you're older than me, than you may know some of them :p ).
Around 2014, I migrated towards working on the Linux kernel, and userspace apps on top of the Linux kernel.
The projects (in the Linux kernel space) include drivers and support for Xilinx FPGA boards/carriers, for data acquisition and some RF applications.

In the meantime, I also tried to develop a presence in the open-source world (I have about several hundred contributions all around).

Recently, I've started working with Computer Vision and AI inference on Embedded devices.
Let's see where this goes :)
