I am applying because:
- I'd like to eliminate delays in getting my work sponsored.
- I'd like to reduce the burden on my sponsors.
Who I am
I am systems programmer, and big believer in free and open source software. I keep an interest in computer and software design down to the hardware level. I strive for a future where our computers are well-designed and secure to the lowest level and respect their users freedom. I mainly enjoy working on systems software such as operating system kernels, bootloaders and firmware. I've been a contributor to the coreboot open source firmware project since 2020. For a few years I've also taken "detour" and dabbled in theoretical computer science and programming language design.
My Ubuntu story
I've joined Canonical's Foundations Team in September 2023 as a maintainer of early boot software such as shim, and GRUB. I've since then became the primary maintainer of GRUB and shim in Ubuntu. I've also dabbled in fixing bugs in a number of other unrelated packages. (See link to my sponsored uploads below).
My involvement
Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of
Some boot package versions I've worked on can be seen here:
Other sponsored uploads are listed here:
My previous work includes security updates, merges, simple bugfixes, SRUs, MIRs, upstream version updates, and the creation of some new packages (ubuntu-boot-test and python-uefivars).
Areas of work
- My main area is the development and maintenance of bootloaders for various platforms.
- As a member of the Canonical Foundations team I also regularly participate in resolving autopkgtest regression, doing merges with Debian, MIR-ing new packages, etc.
Things I could do better
- Document processes and software in my area so that its more transparent to others.

- Engage more with the community.
Plans for the future
General
- Spend more time on general Ubuntu packaging work outside bootloaders.
- Become a Ubuntu Core Developer.
What I like least in Ubuntu
- Popularity means many things are set in stone, so some historical (design) mistakes are hard to fix. (However working on an OS that serves so many is also satisfying).
