I have had the privilege of working with Dan for the past year and I know him as a knowledgable, thorough and steady colleague. He has made many contributions to Ubuntu and it would be a great win for all of us to have Dan approved as a SRU Developer. -- [[LaunchpadHome:fnordahl]] <<DateTime(2017-09-06T17:56:08+0200)>> |

Dan has helped me with a number of bugs, and I've followed his work on several of the NVME bugs listed above. I'm always impressed with his commitment to the quality of his work.

Who I am
I started with UNIX is 1993, using Solaris, and then moved to Linux in 1997 using Slackware, Red Hat, and now Ubuntu. I began Linux kernel development in 2001, in the USB subsystem, and have contributed since then in various kernel subsystems including memory management, networking, and crypto.
My Ubuntu story
I joined Canonical in 2015 as part of the Support and Technical Services Engineering team, and have been working on problems that reach into many different parts of Ubuntu; the kernel, networking, multipath, udev, and more. I enjoy digging deep into technical details and solving problems.
My involvement
Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of
My sponsored uploads:
Ubuntu Kernel bug fix contributions not shown in above sponsored uploads:
- attached block devices not showing up
- using ipsec, many connections result in no buffer space error
- Soft lockup with "block nbdX: Attempted send on closed socket" spam
- kswapd0 100% CPU usage
- lots of printk to serial console can hang system for long time
- bonded interfaces in bridge do not have LRO turned off
- nvme drive probe failure
- move nvme driver to linux-image
- NVMe drives in Amazon AWS instance fail to initialize
- export nvme drive model/serial strings via sysfs
- NVMe driver regression for non-smp/1-cpu systems
- Xen MSI setup code incorrectly re-uses cached pirq
- VLAN SR-IOV regression for IXGBE driver
- Amazon I3 Instance Buffer I/O error on dev nvme0n1
Areas of work
Most of my work is done in the kernel, both upstream and in Ubuntu's branches. However, I also make fixes to various packages as I, or Canonical customers or public Ubuntu users, find bugs in them that I am in a position to fix.
Things I could do better
Time management is difficult for everyone, as we never have enough time to complete everything we want to do. I hope to manage my time better, balancing work and family while also continuing to contribute upstream.
Plans for the future
Keep improving Ubuntu and Linux in general!
What I like least in Ubuntu
Documentation is sometimes hard to come by, or out of date.

Martin Pitt
I only sponsored one SRU (isc-dhcp) for Dan, which was relatively simple: backporting a patch from Debian to a native package (so no patch system involved). He handled all the SRU description, documentation, changelog, policy, following up to questions, etc. correctly, and all went well with this SRU.
However, this is a sample size of one, so I abstain from a recommendation and just add it as a data point.
