I have implemented manufacturing, provisioning, and update process for our current generation of hardware. There are more than 10k devices sold to customers. We never faced unrecoverable problems related to these procedures. These activities involved deep knowledge of the x86 platform, Linux initialization process, UEFI SecureBoot, and Full Disk Encryption based on a hardware-backed crypto chip.

I designed and implemented the firmware building and delivery process. It allows us to update the whole fleet of devices in hours. Development involved the implementation of the build process using the CI process. We used crypto algorithms for securing the firmware. Integration with CDN helped us to provide a more robust delivery.

I created a development workflow and set of software that allows us to license our firmware to 3rd party customers. We have two supported 3rd party platforms with several more in the process. Our company became a natural monopolist in a particular segment of the market. Licensing generates a significant fraction of the company's operating income.
Telecom-related startup (present)
Responsible for hardware-related development and 3rd party partners' hardware integration. Lead small team. I designed and implemented several core blocks that allowed the company to grow and develop. I was involved in design and development process of nearly every initiative of the company.

Outsource project with IoT
I worked on designing and implementing the industrial IoT platform for hospitals and medical institutions. Was responsible for integration development with hardware sensors and cloud platform that performed data analysis. I was involved in firmware development and optimization.

Networking-related development
Out-staff work for one of the biggest networking companies. I was responsible for software development and integration with various in-house components. Several projects required interaction with not-yet-released hardware. I performed the development and integration of the new networking stack for Kubernetes. It was based on eBPF and powered by hardware solutions.
I am interested in challenging work aimed at improving the world.
Not interested in "yet another online store", "yet another CRM", or "yet another ...". I want to have fun and joy from solving problems, not get tired.
