Elena Rostova focuses on the deepest layers of the tech stack, from Linux kernel development to the rapid evolution of the RISC-V instruction set.
She holds a master's degree in computer engineering and spent early parts of her career writing proprietary audio drivers before transitioning into tech journalism. Her work aims to demystify complex silicon architectures and OS-level changes for a broader developer audience.
Outside of writing, she is an active maintainer of several obscure retro-computing emulators.
