Who I am
I started with UNIX is 1993, using Solaris, and then moved to Linux in 1997 using Slackware, Red Hat, and now Ubuntu. I began Linux kernel development in 2001, in the USB subsystem, and have contributed since then in various kernel subsystems including memory management, networking, and crypto.
My Ubuntu story
I joined Canonical in 2015 as part of the Support and Technical Services Engineering team, and have been working on problems that reach into many different parts of Ubuntu; the kernel, networking, multipath, udev, and more. I enjoy digging deep into technical details and solving problems.
My involvement
Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of
My sponsored uploads:
Uploads I have sponsored:
Ubuntu Kernel bug fix contributions not shown in above sponsored uploads:
- attached block devices not showing up
- using ipsec, many connections result in no buffer space error
- Soft lockup with "block nbdX: Attempted send on closed socket" spam
- kswapd0 100% CPU usage
- lots of printk to serial console can hang system for long time
- bonded interfaces in bridge do not have LRO turned off
- nvme drive probe failure
- move nvme driver to linux-image
- NVMe drives in Amazon AWS instance fail to initialize
- export nvme drive model/serial strings via sysfs
- NVMe driver regression for non-smp/1-cpu systems
- Xen MSI setup code incorrectly re-uses cached pirq
- VLAN SR-IOV regression for IXGBE driver
- Amazon I3 Instance Buffer I/O error on dev nvme0n1
Areas of work
Most of my work is done in the kernel, both upstream and in Ubuntu's branches. However, I also make fixes to various packages as I, or Canonical customers or public Ubuntu users, find bugs in them that I am in a position to fix.
Things I could do better
Time management is difficult for everyone, as we never have enough time to complete everything we want to do. I hope to manage my time better, balancing work and family while also continuing to contribute upstream.
Plans for the future
Keep improving Ubuntu and Linux in general!
What I like least in Ubuntu
Documentation is sometimes hard to come by, or out of date.
