Felix Elsner

Felix is a 23 years old developer living in Karlsruhe, Germany. He started programming in his high school years where he wrote some games in Greenfot/Java. Later he developed interest in server administration and web applications. Today he is a soldier in the German Bundeswehr. About a year after he bought an Xperia XZ he came across Sony’s Open Devices program. His commits have been an important part to make sure that the Sonyxperiadev sources now have an updated SELinux policy. He has also been interested in Project Treble compability. Thanks to some of his commits, the Xperia XZ could run the Android master branch and help with development for the next Android version.
