We build connected industrial sensors that run embedded Linux and are sold across the EU. When the Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847) entered into force on 10 December 2024, our product, firmware and support teams all asked the same question: what do we actually have to change, and by when?

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building, scaling, and maintaining complex systems across the full stack—spanning frontend, backend, and DevOps. Over the last 10 years, I have navigated diverse architectures and untangled some of the most frustrating, elusive bugs in production. I believe that every production incident is a massive learning opportunity. Having discovered hibug.me, I am excited to contribute to this knowledge base, breaking down root causes, and sharing verified fixes to help fellow developers debug faster and build more resilient systems.
