Background
I am an aspiring ubuntu developer. I am a firm believer in the Hacker Ethic ( the MIT kind ). I truely began my path as a computer hacker when I was in the 8th grade in 1993 ( I'm now 27 years old ) when I became addicted to learning about these infernal machines and how to control what they do. I experimented with Slackware around 1995 but ran WinNT on the desktop. While in college I experimented with both debian and later redhat on my desktop, and set up an ISP using a mix of slackware and NT ( the 24 port PRI ISDN v.90 modem cards we got were only supported under NT RAS ). For a period of time I contributed to ReactOS in a number of areas, mostly in the kernel and low level support libraries and daemons.
I ended up back in windows and spent 2 years addicted to playing MMORPGs ( doac, lineage 2, then WoW ). I finally got tired of wasting my life on that and installed Ubuntu around Septembre of 2005, just before breezy was finalized, and immediately fell in love. I become more enamered by the unix way every day. I love open source because when things don't work right, I can fix them, and I love Ubuntu because most of the time, I don't have to.
My interests mostly lie in low level stuff, like the kernel and daemons. I have a large interest in networking and servers and as a project to teach myself C++, I wrote an ftp server on NT utilizing zero copy IO and a small worker thread pool with an IO completion port that attained staggering results in throughput, cpu efficiency, and scalability. I have long hoped to see a server using these techniques based on Linux, and will probably end up working on the kernel and apache to support and utilize them.
For my current day job, I work as a software engineer building a non magnetic MRI compatible IV Fluid pump for a medical eqiupment manufacturing company. In my spare time I work on open source software.
Current Projects
Working on PacketCD and attempting to become the upstream maintainer of the udftools package, since the project appears to have been abandoned.
Getting things learned from creating FakeRaidHowto into Ubuntu as FakeRaidSpec
- Also awaiting approval for fixes to the defrag package to allow it to compile on amd64 ( currently on revu ).
Future Plans
I'd like to continue working to improve Ubuntu, so it can be the best OS it can be, and encorage people to use it.
