William Page Email & Phone Number

I am an accomplished software engineer with experience in maintaining out-of-tree proprietary linux kernel drivers, upstream linux kernel driver development, embedded linux distribution creation and maintenance, systems programming, cross-platform software deployment, and build automation, toolchaining, and toolsmithing.I am currently responsible for full-lifecycle development of embedded linux distributions for industrial IoT clients, including guiding part selection and system architecture decisions.In my previous roles, I've performed DevOps for safety-critical automotive R&D, created new developer efficiency and scaling tools in addition to significant direct linux kernel development involving both Open Source and proprietary drivers. To accommodate the continuing evolution of the linux kernel, I automated kernel version compatibility testing. I've provided training to my fellow engineers on linux development and debugging, as well as creating tutorials and other documentation on related subjects.I regularly assume roles outside of my primary assignments where I am needed, leading me to develop diverse skills and knowledge, including:* Installer development for Windows, Mac, and Linux* Build and test automation* Inbound and outbound license compliance, including both open source and commercial licensingIn the course of this work, I have gained experience with the following languages, tools, and technologies:* OpenEmbedded/Yocto development (6 years, advanced)* Kernel and system library development in C /C++ for Windows/macOS/Linux (12 years, advanced)* Linux debugging in gdb, including debugging embedded targets via gdbserver (10 years, intermediate)* Python tool, application, and module development (6 years, intermediate)* Bash scripting (10 years, intermediate)* Linux deb, rpm, and opkg installers (10 years, advanced)* Docker for build automation and deployment (2 years, intermediate)* Systems programming in Rust (5 years, intermediate)* Baremetal embedded programming in Rust (1 year, beginner)* Application development in C# (3 years, basic)* XML Schema design ( 5 years, intermediate)* Windows MSI installers written in Wix (7 years, expert)* MacOS X installers created with pkgbuild and productbuild (2 years, intermediate)* Git revision control (5 years, intermediate)

Listed skills include Debugging, C++, Object Oriented Design, C, and 16 others.
