About Me
Hello! I work for Canonical as a Quality Assurance Engineer. My areas of responsibility include managing the Ubuntu Bug Squad and Bug Control teams, keeping an eye out for high profile bugs and creating systems for triaging and reporting bugs more effictively. I also help out doing some Stable Release Update verification. I am probably one of the few subscribers to to the ubuntu-bugs mailing list. However, I don't think it is as unmanageable as it initially seems. But I haven't gone on vacation yet. 
I plan on adding some entries to my diary about it.
