About Me

I am a twenty three year old Senior Linux System Administrator and Lead Developer with over nine years professional development experience and over five years of experience in Systems Administration. Locally I have been a huge advocate of Free and Open Source software. Personally, I work with friends and neighbors to educate them on the alternatives to Closed Source commercial software. Many have made the switch to an Open Source desktop, the majority moving to Ubuntu. In the companies I have previously worked for, I acted as an Open Source consultant. Helping these companies successfully consume FOSS in their applications while contributing patches and updates back to the community - even releasing portions of their systems as Open Source.

Future Goals

After spending many years building RPMs for the various Red Hat based systems we administered, I've become very interested in packaging and applying eventually for MOTU to help maintain and bring even more applications to the already plentiful Ubuntu Repositories.

I hope to help integrate Ask Ubuntu into the Ubuntu community, by doing so helping users get the answers to their questions as soon as possible!

As a web developer there isn't much I can do to help triage bugs in desktop software; however, I plan on putting my expertise to good use in helping improve the communities web presence when applicable. Whether that be with coding, UI feedback, or increasing 508 compliance in Ubuntu sites.
