Brazilian, from São Paulo, been more than 15 years working with systems development, I had the opportunity to work and test various distributions and open source softwares throughout all those years.
I started working with Microsoft solutions (VB, ASP, etc), then migrate to other languages like PHP, Python, Java... and finally, to more modern languages such as Ruby, Elixir, etc.
My experience with Linux came in the same way: I started working and studying using Conectiva Linux, then Mandrake, Mandriva, RedHat, until finally I start using Fedora (still Fedora Core at the time). At the time that "Kurumin" was the solution for those starting in the Linux world, I also had the opportunity to meet other distributions such as Slackware and Debian, but I believe that due to my whole trajectory, joining the Fedora principles "Freedom, Friends, Features, First", Fedora was the distribution that most I identified and that, since the time of the Fedora Core, I have been using it.
As companies move toward digital transformation, seeking to innovate in the way they manage their infrastructure - such as migrating to Cloud for example, and devops - and I believe that strongly driving the adoption of open source solutions by companies, I have directed my efforts to research solutions to these two major fronts.
In parallel to all of this (such as the use of Containers, Flatpaks, immutable systems, etc.), I believe in the potential that new Fedora distributions such as Atomic and Silverblue bring to both Cloud administrators (for use on their hundreds of servers / containers), and developers (who also need lightweight, standardized systems to run their applications and even develop locally on their notebooks), so I am a part of this Fedora community, to motivate, encourage, and contribute more and more to foster the use of these solutions in companies and show how open source is part and is fundamental to the transformation devops that companies today seek.
