I am a Staff Software Engineer at Juniper Networks, Inc. I am a member of the Platforms Software Team.

I am currently doing embedded development in an OS called JUNOS. JUNOS is a derivative of FreeBSD.

I have also done embedded development in the following OSes: OSE, VxWorks, uC/OS II

I have done device drivers as well as system level applications consisting of client-server model, and fully redundant.

My expertise is in architecting platform infrastructure for multi-slot chassis.

I have extensive experience in developing fully redundant applications as well system redundancy infrastructure.
I am a Debian Developer involved in / sometimes leading python-apt development. I have developed dh-autoreconf and hardlink and maintain various other packages in Debian. I'm also working on APT, and currently am the one doing the releases and maintaining the xenial branch.

I worked with Julian for a couple of year, first on python-apt, then on apt itself. His work is always high quality and he has a good judgement. I trust Julian that he will do a good job maintaining apt/python-apt. I'm sure he will also do a good job with the others fwiw, its just that all my work with him was centered around apt/python-apt :)

Please grant JulianK Ubuntu Core Developer rights, he knows what he is doing. Anything else would be silly, given that he effectively lands apt into Ubuntu already anyway.

{{{
<xnox> rbasak, the list of PPU packages he requests are fine. However, he also finds things and fixes bugs in other dependant packages, and is capable of being an effective core dev =)
* xnox wants juliank as a core dev, cause he would be a good core dev =)
<rbasak> The first part of that reason is a good reason. The second part is a good endorsement but not in itself a reason :)
<rbasak> Please put your reasons in your endorsement ;)

I've followed Julian's work for a long time now. I fully trust his very capable skills in the world of apt and related packages, and he is very enthusiastic and engaged to fix things in Ubuntu as well. He also knows about our release process and freezes and coordinates updates accordingly. I fully support and recommend granting PPU rights -- in fact, I also fully support him becoming a full core developer.
