Summary
Leo Schwab is a Senior Software Engineer in San Carlos, CA with 13 years of deep, hands-on experience spanning register-level device programming to production embedded Linux systems. He has repeatedly shipped firmware, device drivers, and system software across industries—from consumer set-top boxes and graphics drivers at NVIDIA and Google to EV charging stations at Shell Recharge Solutions. Comfortable leading projects or contributing as a pragmatic individual engineer, he bridges hardware and cloud teams to define protocols, improve reliability, and automate operational workflows. His specialties include embedded Linux, MCU firmware, I2C/SPI buses, OTA updates, and pragmatic SELinux policy work for device integrations. A self-directed explorer and “closet extrovert,” he pairs low-level technical craft with attention to developer experience and on-call tooling. Less obvious: he regularly turns spare time into onboarding and training materials that accelerate team productivity.
