Linus Torvalds is a Finnish-American software engineer best known as the creator of the Linux kernel, the foundation of the open-source Linux operating system. First released in 1991, Linux has since become one of the most widely used platforms in the world, powering everything from personal computers to servers, smartphones, supercomputers and embedded devices. Torvalds also developed Git, the distributed version control system that has become a cornerstone of modern software development.
Torvalds has received global recognition for his contributions to technology and open-source innovation. In 2012, he was awarded the Millennium Technology Prize by the Technology Academy Finland for his creation of Linux, an achievement that transformed the way software is built and shared. He later received the IEEE Computer Society’s Computer Pioneer Award in 2014 and the IEEE Masaru Ibuka Consumer Electronics Award in 2018.
Today, Torvalds continues to oversee development of the Linux kernel, maintaining his role as its chief architect and guiding the project with a focus on stability, security and collaboration. His work has shaped the landscape of modern computing and established him as one of the most influential figures in the history of software engineering.
