About Me

When I look back at when I started playing with Linux, I remember being the kid in the computer room at School, who was interested in Slackware, attending the local Linux user groups and helping out on a small project called Smoothwall. 15 years on, it's been part of my personal life since and my professional life for the last 5 years having worked at both Red Hat and now at Canonical as a Premium Service Engineer based in the Millbank office in London.

I like to keep up with the latest technologies across all Linux distributions, some would say I like to have my fingers in all the Open Source pies.

Outside of Ubuntu, I'm an avid music fan, scuba diver and play both the Guitar and Ukulele.
