Top SchoolThomas De Schampheleire is an experienced embedded software engineer with 26 years focused on low-level Linux platform work—bootloaders, BSPs, kernels, drivers, init systems and build environments—and currently applying that expertise at Nokia on IP router products. He has led integration and compliance for open-source components across product lines, driving upstream contributions, security backports and toolchain/CI improvements while acting as technical lead and gatekeeper. A pragmatic debugger and build system expert, Thomas is an active contributor to the Buildroot ecosystem, improving package management and cross-architecture builds. He is also a committed knowledge sharer and trainer who established internal wikis and learning programs to raise team capability. Multilingual and internationally seasoned, he combines deep C/Linux craftsmanship with a habit of spotting and implementing maintainable, long-term improvements rather than quick fixes.
