| == About Me == Hi! I work for Google on ChromeOS security. Previously, I worked for 5 years at Canonical as an Ubuntu Security Engineer. My work is to stay alert, curious, and creative while keeping one step ahead of the bad guys. When I'm not working, I've been known to play with MythTV and generally poke around at video formats. (My name is pronounced 'case', but uses the Dutch spelling -- I was named after my grandfather.) |

| == Community == I became involved in the Ubuntu community around Dapper, but have been using Ubuntu since Hoary. (I had been a Debian user for a few years prior to Ubuntu.) As the lead sysadmin at [[http://www.osdl.org/|OSDL]], I chose Ubuntu as the default distro for all new servers, replaced most of the aging RedHat systems, and kept the visitor lobby stocked with fresh Ubuntu CDs. Nothing beats having a Debian system with a regular release cycle. |
My Linux experience began with Red Hat (mostly because it had Bomberman preinstalled), but I soon upgraded to Debian (Woody) and finally Ubuntu (Feisty). I've been an Ubuntu evangelist ever since. |

| == Future == I have been an advocate of free software since I first understood what the GPL meant. I love tweaking and patching and helping make things better; I've always had a knack for getting software to behave in unexpected ways. I think finding security problems is fun, and I want to spend my time hunting down and squashing those problems where ever I can find them. Free software already has a strong security reputation, and I want to help keep it that way. |
Nowadays, I'm happily employed at Canonical, working on Ubuntu. |

Contributions
Before my employment at Canonical, I was looking for a new laptop when I saw that Dell was offering a discount on their XPS 13 in exchange for help getting Ubuntu stable on it (the Sputnik project). I took them up on that offer and ended up contributing a number of kernel patches to Ubuntu that have since moved into mainline.
At Canonical, I've contributed to Ubuntu in a number of ways:
- Wrote the Unity8 Snappy Scope (allowing one to install/uninstall .snaps from the scope).
- Helped write the Ubuntu Phone pay service, allowing users to purchase apps as well as in-app items.
Backported seccomp filters to all Ubuntu Phone kernels < v3.5.
- I'm a Snapcraft developer, improving and guiding future developments.
- Contributed to developer.ubuntu.com documentation.
Future Goals
- More blogging/involvement with the Ubuntu Community as a whole.
- Improving my Python skills
