Hi, I'm Antonin Do Souto

Embedded Linux C/C++ Crash & Reliability Engineer

I specialize in diagnosing and fixing unstable, crashing, and hard-to-debug embedded systems written in C/C++, typically running on Embedded Linux in production environments.

My work is focused on situations where systems:

  • crash intermittently
  • behave unpredictably under load or edge conditions
  • contain years of accumulated technical debt
  • are too critical or too expensive to rewrite

I intervene when teams are blocked, incidents are costly, and traditional debugging approaches no longer work.


What I do

  • Post-mortem analysis of crashes (core dumps, logs, runtime state)
  • Root-cause analysis of instability and undefined behavior
  • Race conditions, memory corruption, lifetime issues
  • Stabilization of legacy C/C++ codebases
  • Refactoring critical paths without full rewrites
  • Definition and cleanup of system behavior and failure paths

Technical focus

  • C / C++ (modern and legacy)
  • Embedded Linux (Buildroot, Yocto-based systems)
  • Crash dumps, instrumentation, diagnostics
  • Deterministic logic and system behavior under failure
  • Tooling, reproducibility, and hardening

What I deliberately do not do

  • Web, SaaS, or application-level feature development
  • UI work disconnected from system behavior
  • Short-term “add a feature” freelance missions
  • Greenfield projects with no production constraints

Working model

I typically operate as part of a small senior engineering cell, intervening for short, high-impact missions:

  • diagnosis
  • stabilization
  • clear technical recommendations

I work primarily with international clients and accept on-site interventions when they make economic sense, including in Asia.


Goal

Build a sustainable, high-value consulting activity around embedded system reliability, crash analysis, and long-term stability, with a strong focus on financial independence and technical leverage.
