In 2012 I wrote the SMB347 charger driver that is still in mainline Linux (commit ed1a230f, v3.4). This year I ported it to Rust and sent it upstream as an RFC, adding a Rust power_supply class abstraction mainline still doesn't have. The maintainer replied "having Rust bindings for new drivers sounds good to me". Direction approved, not merged. v2 waits on the I2C side moving to the Io traits that landed in 7.3.
Before that: Intel (AOSP, tablet bring-up, secure-boot firmware), Cisco (C++ firmware and ASIC HAL generators, Catalyst 4500), ClearEdge Power (embedded Linux for a 5 kW fuel cell), then ten years as a startup CTO.
Looking for kernel, driver, or embedded work, full-time or contract.
