In addition to working for Canonical I have a contract and consultancy company that has for many years worked on open source projects, both paid and free of charge. A lot of this work has focused on distribution infrastructure. Notable work has been with the Linux From Scratch Project (Lead Developer of Automated Tools), Nokia's Maemo Platform, and several little tools such as rsstorrent. More details of which can be found at http://www.linuxuk.org.

For Ubuntu I have concentrated mostly on enabling embedded ARM hardware. I was responsible for decreasing live-cd boot times by 35% across all hardware, not just ARM, integrating the current ARM netbook UI, and more recently working on the web office integration amongst other things. Bug work, packages that fail to build and user testing are other area's I concentrate on.
