Jana is an Embedded Linux Engineer at Northern.tech, where she helps customers succeed (and occasionally survive) with Mender — the open-source OTA update manager. With hands-on experience shipping firmware updates into the wild, Jana has seen everything from flawless rollouts to devices that went mysteriously silent mid-update. She specializes in turning complex OTA setups into something humans can actually maintain, and she secretly enjoys debugging broken bootloaders more than she probably should. When not neck-deep in Yocto layers or U-Boot environment puzzles, she’s usually trying to explain to her friends what “firmware” actually means.
