As a member of the Ubuntu Kernel Team my roles and responsibilities are various. I am heavily involved in maintaining and evolving the current (Maverick) kernel, specialising mainly on the ARM architecture. Working with OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and community members alike, I spend a great deal of time conversing with our user base attempting to discover deficiencies in Ubuntu, then finding ways to fix them. Most of my time is devoted to bugs however.

Ubuntu Contributions
Maverick Development
I've been working at Canonical for the entire life cycle of Maverick, as a consequence I've placed a significant amount of work into it. As already mentioned I specialise mainly on Embedded ARM platforms, specifically Texas Instruments based hardware, thus most of the Maverick input has been aimed at board bring-up and system configuration. I have had the pleasure of supporting Ubuntu on the latest and greatest OMAP3 (Beagle) and OMAP4 (Panda) boards.
Some of the drivers I have worked with (debugged) include; USB, Networking, MMC/SD, Audio, HDMI and Suspend/Resume.
My most significant work on Maverick was working with TI on the HDMI video subsystem.
A complete write-up of the bug can be found on my blog.
Lucid Development
As Lucid is LTS, I spend a significant amount of time searching for and solving bugs which are causing users annoyance. Usually, these bugs have regressed into latter releases, so the fixes can be used to solve issues with even the latest kernels.
With regards to Lucid, my most noteworthy contribution was debugging the MMC subsystem's suspend/resume functionality, again detailed on my blog.
Bugs
A list of my active (public) bugs can be found on Launchpad.
Support
I can regularly be found on IRC providing user support.
Blog
I endeavour to share my (significant) experiences with other Ubuntu developers, our user base and frankly anyone else who cares enough to listen via a blog on Canonical's Voices Blogsite.

Lee is a pleasure to work with, if you have an issue with exotic hardware he is your man. He bites his teeth into a problem until he understands even the deepest details of the problem to then find the proper solution in the end.
In his role as a kernel developer Lee did plenty outstanding contributions to the Ubuntu kernel without which Ubuntu on ARM for maverick wouldn't have been possible in the quality as we have released it.
Lee is a master of communication who manages to quickly bring together and coordinate the most important experts for solving a problem. He is very active on IRC and helpful to persons asking for support.
