= 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:

Bug fix contributions:

todo - include only kernel bugs, other uploads enumerated at above link

Areas of work

Most of my work is done in the kernel, both upstream and in Ubuntu's branches.

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

General

Continue contributing to the kernel and Ubuntu packages.

What I like least in Ubuntu

Documentation is sometimes hard to come by, or out of date.
