CTO, Research & Development

Working on Mer Core and next generation mobile stacks on top of it as well as research efforts into whatever falls into my lap. I've also been extensively involved with hiring and interviewing to build one of the best teams in mobile Linux.

In this work I pioneered the use of libhybris to leverage Android drivers on non-Android mobile OS as well as the ability to utilize the Wayland windowing system with Android drivers. On top of that, I've been supporting our business development meetings with investors and partners with technical knowledge.
