About
I work for Red Hat in platform engineering. 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.
My work these days is on system libraries, utilities, and developer tools. I am upstream for:
- https://github.com/dcantrell/pykickstart
- https://github.com/dcantrell/pyparted
- https://github.com/dcantrell/rpminspect
I am working on various groups and teams trying to improve developer workflows and implement CI systems.
I live in Nashua, New Hampshire Somerville, Massachusetts Honolulu, Hawaii Cambridge Medford, Massachusetts. I am married and have a daughter. I like Mexican food. I also enjoy zombie movies. I collect North American vehicle registration plates. I advocate for the daily use of the metric system in the United States. I use $2 notes whenever possible. I like travelling by train.
