If you're interested in a Mobile Linux stack expert, reach out to me on skype carsten.v.munk or carsten dot munk at gmail dot com. I'm available for B2B contracts and have long expertise in subcontracting for mobile companies. Anything revolving around non-UI development parts of Linux/Android stack, getting demos running on most hardware you can throw at me, solving seemingly impossible problems or other curious things you could have me doing, is of interest.

In my role within the shared CTO office my duties have been to: * Report to, advise and assist CEO in matters of technology and product strategy. * Work with the whole company to seek out new ideas and strategic directions especially from extended navigation team and company domain experts * To evaluate, investigate, research and prototype emerging technologies and strategic directions * Facilitate and communicate a company wide understanding of technology and strategy matters together with rest of management * Assist whole company in external meetings, alliances and discussions in technology and strategy matters.

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.

Working as an engineer, primarily on Merproject.org Core

In my work as Nokia N900 hardware adaptation maintainer for the MeeGo project I've spent a lot of time on many different areas, ranging from systems bringup, cross compilation techniques, ARM porting of software and whole distributions, graphics adaptation (GLES/EGL) as well as guiding the MeeGo ARM team's work from a technical angle.

I was the maemo.org distmaster, a community sponsored position by Nokia within the maemo.org community hired to faciliate operating systems level development within the community.

In the "old" Mer project, we were seeking out to rebase the Maemo stack on top of Ubuntu as to reconstruct it towards fitting towards a modern day reality of multiple vendors and devices. When MeeGo came along, we decided to join efforts with that project.
