About me
Embedded software engineer who started close to the metal — close enough to smell the solder fumes. Moved to Embedded Linux when I got bored of microcontrollers, and never looked back, mostly because there's always another router to liberate. I believe hardware ownership is non-negotiable, which is why I own a soldering iron, zero regrets, and a growing graveyard of routers that never saw me coming. Some belonged to my ISP but most were just in the wrong place at the right time. I reverse-engineer firmware for fun, desolder flash chips for sport, and contribute to the Linux kernel — the patch was small, the mailing list argument was not.
