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'm a Software Engineer at Travis CI from San Francisco, California. I've helped with the Linux community since 2005, submitted kernel patches, and love helping on the Ubuntu forums at large. I've given speeches/keynotes at IBM, Droidcon, LeadDev and Arm DevSummit.
