About Me

My name is Jean Austin Rodriguez. I am a Filipino and I advocate Free Software.

I am currently working at a multi-national car manufacturing company in the Philippines where I server as a system administrator focusing on security, IT services, server virtualization and cloud computing.

I am also an active member of Mozilla Philippines and is currently applying for the Mozilla Representative (ReMo) program.

I started using Ubuntu in 2008 and has used it ever since.
