Jorge de la Flor

Embedded Linux & Systems Engineer

Engineer focused on low-level systems, embedded Linux and edge workloads on resource-constrained hardware. Experience building and maintaining Linux-based systems on ARM platforms, integrating hardware and software layers, and developing system-level services using Rust, C/C++ and Python.

Strong interest in operating systems, device-level integration, reliability and long-term maintainability of embedded and edge systems.

Technical Focus

• Embedded Linux (Ubuntu, Debian-based systems)
• ARM-based platforms and single-board computers
• Systems programming with Rust and C/C++
• Python for automation, tooling and backend services
• Hardware–software integration and device bring-up
• Linux services, networking, storage and system configuration
• Edge systems under CPU, memory and storage constraints

Selected Projects

Embedded Linux Private Cloud System

• Designed and deployed a self-hosted private cloud using Raspberry Pi running Linux.
• Configured and maintained a Nextcloud instance for secure file storage.
• Integrated external SSD storage over USB, with separate primary and backup disks.
• Worked directly with Linux services, filesystem management, networking and SSH-based remote administration.
• Focused on system stability, maintainability and continuous operation.

Embedded Systems & IoT Development

• Development experience on ESP32, STM32 and Arduino platforms.
• Low-level programming and hardware interaction using C/C++ and Rust.
• Device bring-up, peripheral integration and basic real-time considerations.
• Exposure to fragmented embedded ecosystems and rapid adaptation to new SDKs and toolchains.

Engineering Practices

• Structured problem solving and incremental system design
• Clear separation of concerns between hardware, OS and application layers
• Preference for simple, maintainable solutions over unnecessary complexity
• Comfortable working in Linux environments and terminal-based workflows

Background

• Bachelor’s Degree in International Business (Dual Degree Program – Peru / USA)
• Strong technical self-training alongside formal education
• Experience collaborating across technical and non-technical domains
