Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTabor Kelly is a Linux Platform Engineer in Portland, Oregon with over a decade of hands-on experience building embedded systems, ARM-based IoT devices, and x86-64 edge computing nodes. He combines low-level expertise—U-Boot, custom kernel drivers, Yocto/OpenEmbedded and Buildroot—with cloud-facing skills like Docker, Ubuntu-based edge stacks, InfluxDB, nginx, and RESTful microservices. His background spans RTOS device drivers and imaging pipelines to modern Linux platform security and CVE management, giving him a rare full-stack view of device-to-cloud systems. At Racepoint Energy and HP he has refactored monoliths into modular processes, added automated tests, and influenced device/network security strategies. Colleagues rely on him for bridging hardware bring-up and production microservices, and he often reaches into both kernel and application layers to solve stubborn integration problems.
