Ahmad has been invested in Embedded Linux since his first exposure developing an IDE for LEGO's EV3 robots in 2015.
Since 2018, he is working full time at Pengutronix on furthering Linux world domination. He does so by helping automotive and industrial customers build embedded Linux systems based on the mainline Linux kernel.
