I work for Red Hat in platform engineering.  <strike>Most of my work involves working on Anaconda, the friendly and exciting installer for Fedora and RHEL.  I also work on other things, such as DHCP networking software (turned over to Jiri Popelka), IPv6 stuff, disk partitioning, and other things.</strike>
I work for Red Hat in platform engineering.  As of 14-Nov-2019, I have been at Red Hat for 14 years.  I have worked on a number of projects at Red Hat.  Prior to Red Hat, I worked for Internet Security Systems, assorted Solaris shops, some phone companies, and I was a core team member of Slackware Linux employed by Walnut Creek CDROM (later BSDi).  I have been involved in the Linux and open source communities for a long time.


My work these days is on system libraries, utilities, and developer tools.  I am upstream for:

I am working on various groups and teams trying to improve developer workflows, implement CI systems, and build and improve developer tools.
Past projects:

* DHCPv6 through wide-dhcpv6 and later contributing to ISC DHCP so Fedora (and RHEL) could use it directly
* Various packaging and imaging tools
* Upstream maintainer of GNU Parted
* pykickstart
* pyparted overhaul
