I’m the Chief Technology Strategist for Red Hat’s US Public Sector group, where I work with systems integrators and government agencies to encourage the use of open source software in government. I’m a Red Hat Certified Engineer, and the author of all kinds of whitepapers and lengthy emails like “New Approaches to Multilevel Security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.” You can see a fat version of me talking about some of this on our Open Source in Government site. Recently, I helped found Open Source for America and was named one of Federal Computer Week’s Fed 100 for 2010.
Prior to joining Red Hat, I worked as a developer, systems administrator, and IT director for a series of internet businesses. I’ve also been a business and IT consultant to not-for-profit organizations in New York City. During that time, I spearheaded the reform of safety regulations for New York State’s electrical utilities following the tragic death of Jodie Lane.
When I’m not spreading the Good News about open source, I’m wishing I had a dog.
I also have more official-sounding bio and a headshot for conferences or speaking engagements.
I'm the Chief Technology Strategist for the Red Hat US Public Sector group, an open source and free culture advocate, a picky drinker, an amateur aesthete, and a dog enthusiast.
