The founder of Chi’s Store is a senior system engineer who started working with GNU/Linux operating systems in 2005, which is me. The first GNU/Linux based system I used was “Fedora Core 2”, which was the first “Fedora” with version 2.6 kernel. During my working life, I have been involved in many development projects, including some national system integration projects and world-class open source projects. Worked for so many years to put bread on the table, until one day, tired, so tired. Drop all work, travelling with children to Christchurch. The friendliness of the people and the slow pace of life made me fall in love with the city. The kids went to school here and I opened this little business.

Areas of Expertise:

Embedded ARM development, full stack, hardware (PCB design) and software (OS, Bootloader, Userspace programme), nearly all the SOCs, and some MCUs.
GNU/Linux OS customisation and driver porting.LFS (Linux from scratch)?Arm?Mips?Easy.
Cloud Computing Architecture Design, High Availability Storage Integration, Storage and Compute Separation Architecture Deployment.

If you are an engineer and interested in these, and have run into a problem, then can’t find the answer on google, contact me, in case, maybe, I could answer it.
