System Software Engineer and Researcher working on Linux kernel, Rust, MAVLink, PX4, autonomous UAV systems, and low-level communications.
Becoming a Core Member of Rust-for-Linux I want to share a small but very meaningful update, I have officially become a core member of Rust-for-Linux in the Linux kernel. Since a year or so I have been working almost exclusively on the kernel, mostly on Tyr driver for Arm Mali GPUs, workqueue and synchronization primitives such as SRCU and wound/wait Mutex. Recently, I was added to the…
The Cost of AI Coding for Open-Source Maintainers I have been active in open-source development for many years on critical software projects such as the rust compiler, libp2p in the past and linux kernel, mavlink and px4 today. From what I have seen so far, one of the biggest costs of AI-coding is being pushed directly to open-source maintainers, especially the ones maintaining large and popular…
Inside the Hangar: Prototype A and B I am building two different prototypes simultaneously (from scratch, as you may remember from my previous post) right now. Prototype A (the left one) is 18 inches while Prototype B (the right one) measures 17. Both rely on the exact same software stack; the only difference is the physical capabilities (e.g., weight, lifting power, physical durability, etc).…
Meet the Next UAV Challenger After almost a year of work (mostly in my spare time, usually one day each weekend) on UAVs, I am excited to share the very first real-world test of my first prototype UAV model , built completely from scratch; including the software stack. Your browser does not support the video tag. In the demo video, the UAV takes off in a quite windy area, flies rectangular…
Do Non-Apple Laptops with Good Battery Life and Performance Exist? Background Story I often take my laptop outside and work in random places, like a tent on a mountain.

I have used many different laptops over the past 10 years, and…

Watches Beyond Time: A Visual Tour of My Watch Collection What is it all about? Since ~7 years, I've found myself falling in love with something special: wristwatches. Right now I have 6 watches in my collection, and I enjoy wearing each one of them. Three of them are perfect for everyday wear and the other three are different – they're vintage watches, which means they were made a long…
