Hi, I'm Kamal Mostafa <[email protected]> from Boulder Creek, California, USA.

I am an experienced software developer, C programmer, and electronics hobbyist.

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.
*(SCO Xenix '286 came on about twenty 5.25" floppies, back in those days!)

Ubuntu contributions

I have been working the Lucid FTBFS list daily since late 2009, learning the Ubuntu dev procedures and fixing several broken packages each week.
I am an admin and active member of the ubuntu-hams and ubuntu-hams-devel teams in Launchpad. My goal is to address every open ham radio bug in Ubuntu.
During my first weeks, I provided detailed feedback to JamesWestby and ScottKitterman of the FoundationsTeam about my experiences as a new developer/contributor.
