I, Paolo Pisati, am applying for DKMS upload rights.

I am applying to DKMS application rights because I am part of the Ubuntu kernel dev team. My work includes FTBFS fixes for the various DKMS packages hereby I would like to sponsor these fixes independently in order to reduce wait time and burden on other uploaders.

Who am I

I work as a Kernel Engineer in the Ubuntu Kernel Team at Canonical since 2011. My main focus area is UNIX OS, embedded systems and system architecture.

I received a Master degree in Computer Science at the University of Milan, Italy on 2003. I have contributed to many open-source projects, in particular FreeBSD and the Linux kernel.

Areas of work

My primary focus has been getting new upstream kernel versions into Ubuntu, fixing up packages impacted by these kernel updates. I am also involved in bug fixes for stable series kernels and uploading kernel SRUs.

Things I could do better

My overall packaging experience is almost entirely with kernel or kernel-adjacent packages. I would like to extend my knowledge to a more diverse types of package.
