| == Background == I've been using Ubuntu since Feisty, and had been a Debian user for several years before. My past life was that of a DoD roboticist, where we used Ubuntu exclusively. |
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. In the past I was employed at Miriam Technologies, writing web applications with Ruby on Rails. This was where I got a lot of Debian experience, writing software on my Debian machine and administering Debian servers. From there I began work at the University of Idaho developing neural networks and evolutionary algorithms for limb control of a quadruped robot. I then began work developing embedded Linux applications to facilitate control of autonomous underwater vehicles. This was where I got some good embedded experience, mostly focusing on the Gumstix Overo platform. More recently I worked as a roboticist for the U.S. Department of Defense, writing software to facilitate control of autonomous ground vehicles running Ubuntu.

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).

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
