Linux has been my passion since I first discovered it as a 14-year-old. In the decades since, I've become an expert in many of the front-end and back-end processes that make Linux tick. I enjoy taking on intensely hands-on Linux challenges, like installing Gentoo blindfolded - a distribution that requires compiling the system from source code.

My deep knowledge and lifelong experience with Linux allow me to leverage its capabilities to solve complex tech problems. I remain passionate about contributing to Linux's ongoing development and guiding others in using this powerful open source operating system effectively.

I am Michael Mendy, an open source Python programmer, bash scripter, and Linux enthusiast. I have been active in the open source community since 2005, contributing code to projects like the Linux kernel and publishing various tools on GitHub that I hope are useful. For the past 6 years, I have played a major role in DevOps. As an OpenStack Foundation member, I have helped improve continuous integration tools like Travis CI and implemented Travis CI within IBM/Red Hat's architecture to create seamless software delivery processes. My passion is leveraging my software development and DevOps expertise to help open source technologies thrive.
