Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEnrico Scholz is a Senior Software Developer with 26 years of hands-on experience building Linux-based embedded systems and low-level C firmware for platforms from PXA and OMAP to i.MX and Cortex-M3 MCUs. He combines deep kernel and networking expertise with build-system craftsmanship—authoring and fixing core BitBake and OpenEmbedded build issues that improved stability, proxy handling, and parallel build correctness. At SIGMA Chemnitz he has owned end-to-end solutions, from kernel and networking stacks to automation scripts (autotools, CMake, GNU make) and embedded build integration. Beyond implementation, he administers complex Linux networks (krb5/gssapi, LDAP, mail, VPNs, firewalls), making him equally fluent in infrastructure and embedded software. Colleagues rely on his pragmatic approach to untangling brittle builds and delivery pipelines, a skill sharpened by long-term open-source contributions to widely used build tooling.
