Senior🎓
Top SchoolHuang Rick is a seasoned embedded and system software engineer with over 15 years in mobile and wireless device platforms and 11 years of hands-on experience across BSP, drivers, RTOS, and embedded Linux. He has led teams through board bring-up, manufacturing tooling, and customer enablement, and more recently drove significant Windows WWAN modern standby and power-tuning wins that reduced wakeup power and time by large margins.

A hands-on leader who coaches teams and works directly with customers, he also brings cloud and distributed-systems interests from his GitHub activity and a creative streak as a guitarist. Based in Taipei, he’s currently focused on Windows on Arm notebooks while open to applying his expertise to new architectures and form factors.
