I am responsible for petting and feeding the office cats

I currently mentor a student on Shoal, a tool to collect statistics about mirror usage. This will enable more optimal distribution of linux based operating systems

For Fedora EMEA e.V, i maintain the financial books and keep them up to date.

My role began with development of Smolt, a hardware profile statistics collector. I have since then moved on to working on Haskell development in Fedora, writing and participating in the Packaging Guidelines, promoting and marketing Fedora as a Community Ambassador, mentoring new contributors and acting as an advisor to the community informally.

At the UMC, my work focused mainly on the configuration management system and server developments. I spent roughly a quarter of my time on daily system administrative tasks and 20% on Open Source community.

I was the main developer for Smolt, and during that time, i developed better privacy support, reworked the web application, developed Smolt in Turbogears, migrated from SQLObject to SQLAlchemy, and did pilot tests using Turbogears 2.

I was brought into Red Hat in order to be given a practical internship on Open Source development and community. My role started with development and transitioned to working with the Community Architecture team to aid and assist the various communities around Red Hat and the Fedora Project.

My position was to buy and resell print and provide professional advice for our customers. We operated both a storefront and mail order print brokerage with customized and personalized service.

Duringy my six months, i maintained and developed an internal web based reporting tool designed in J2EE and Struts used by employees globally. I also developed two web based inventory management prototypes as part of a product evaluation.

During this time, i concentrated heavily on linguistics and the dialects and variations of the different Germanic Languages.

During my studies, i worked on basic language skills and my work there culminated in an internship in Southern Germany.
