I am currently seeking employment (February 2010). Please see my resume for details about my qualifications.

I have run Linux and UNIX systems at home and at work for decades* and have been an Ubuntu user and hacker since Feisty. In late 2009 my position as Senior Software Engineer at a major Silicon Valley EDA company ended... Happily, this has left me with the time and freedom to apply my 20 years of UNIX/Linux development experience to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu contributions

Endorsements of my work

  • Emmet Hikory's endorsement of my application to the ubuntu-bugcontrol team

    • I'm familiar with Kamal's work in the development arena, and am very glad to see the same attention to detail and rich investigation brought to bug triage.

      [Kamal's] handling of many of these bugs demonstrates a care often missed: rather than looking for a quick fix, the state of the packages have been investigated upstream and in Debian, and when bugs are discovered to be fixed, detailed information about when and how they were fixed has been indicated.

      I unreservedly endorse [Kamal's application to ubuntu-bugcontrol].

      Emmet HIKORY

  • Scott Howard's endorsement of my application to the ubuntu-bugcontrol team

    • I've been seeing Kamal's work first hand lately, he's been a great help! +1 from me.

      Scott Howard
