Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKurtis Dinelle is a software engineer based in Seattle with 12 years of hands-on experience building firmware, embedded systems, and low-level drivers. Currently on Microsoft's Windows Silicon & Systems Integration team, he develops embedded controller firmware in Rust with a focus on thermal management, having progressed from multiple internships where he built drivers, HALs, and UEFI-integrated tools. His background spans microcontroller firmware for environmental sensing, Linux system administration, and automation in the US Marine Corps, blending disciplined operational rigor with deep technical curiosity about how computers work. Notably, he pairs practical hardware interfacing skills with modern Rust firmware development, making him equally comfortable debugging sensors at the board level and architecting device-agnostic abstractions.
