Kaiwan N Billimoria — Co-Founder

Specialize, and have deep knowledge, on Linux systems-related technologies. Specifically, on the Linux systems programming with 'C'​ ecosystem, kernel internals, device drivers (character and network), embedded Linux and user-space/kernel debugging techniques. Have real-world work experience on Linux applications on 'C'​, Kernel Internals and Device Drivers. Work essentially as a Kernel (Linux) Technical Consultant, Corporate Instructor (trainer) and Software Developer. Have been in the industry since 1991 and have worked in various project development roles. Am happy to give back to the community! My way of doing so has been primarily via writing books about Linux (yes, 5 books to date!) and providing high quality training on the subject. Here's the book list: - Linux Kernel Programming: A comprehensive guide to kernel internals, writing kernel modules,and kernel synchronization, 2nd Ed, Feb 2024 - Linux Kernel Debugging: Leverage proven tools and advanced techniques to effectively debug Linux kernels and kernel modules, Aug 2022 - Linux Kernel Programming: A comprehensive guide to kernel internals, writing kernel modules, and kernel synchronization, Mar 2021 - Linux Kernel Programming Part 2 - Char Device Drivers and Kernel Synchronization: Create user-kernel interfaces, work with peripheral I/O, and handle hardware interrupts, Mar 2021 - Hands-On System Programming with Linux: Explore Linux system programming interfaces, theory, and practice, Oct 2018. All the above have been published by Packt Publishing, Birmingham, UK. I have contributed to several opensource projects, including the Linux kernel. I have founded and maintain a few interesting opensource projects on github as well. Lead architect and developer of the Seawolf product. I provide customer-focused world-class Corporate Training / Workshops on Linux (and Embedded Linux) system programming topics, work in consulting / hands-on development roles for companies on cutting-edge projects, and contribute to open-source development projects when I can.
