PLATFORM & SOFTWARE ENGINEERBOLOGNA, ITALY
Hi, I'm Luca Padovan.
A curious mind.
A builder at heart.
I build Linux systems and tools that make a developer's day a little easier. From embedded platforms to open-source software, I like understanding how things work — and making them work better.

I'm a Platform & Senior Software Engineer at QubicaAMF, working across Linux, embedded systems, and the software infrastructure behind bowling and entertainment systems.
My work spans Yocto-based operating systems, embedded applications, Linux drivers and graphics, OTA updates, recovery, logging, and monitoring. I also manage CI/CD infrastructure, containers, orchestration, and observability, with a focus on cost and operational efficiency.
I coordinate multiple project streams and external consultants, connecting hands-on engineering with the wider architecture and delivery of a platform.
Outside work, I build open-source projects out of curiosity and a love of coding. Often, they start with a small everyday annoyance: a port I can't identify, too many package-manager commands, or a terminal session I don't want to lose.
