Previously worked with Ralph Bean to make Fedora Badges production-ready and deploy the app.
Hello! I'm an Associate Software Engineer at Red Hat. I work remotely on the Fedora engineering team, and more specifically, the infrastructure and cloud parts. Right now, I'm focusing on Fedora Cloud image uploading and ostree/atomic image support. Previously, I built the front-end for [https://badges.fedoraproject.org Fedora Badges] along with some back-end work. I worked with Ralph Bean to get Badges production-ready and deploy the app. Currently, there are over 11,000 Fedora contributors with badges.


Graduated from RIT with a BS in IT, concentrations in Networking & Systems Administration and Databases, plus a minor in Philosophy.

Free software
Outside of free software, I listen to a lot of music. I love tunes from all eras, but am most appreciative of recordings from the 60s and 70s. My favourite band is the Grateful Dead, and have listened to hundreds of live recordings, many of them over 3 hours in length. The Dead strike a note in me that hasn't been hit by any other music I've heard. Though I am to young to have seen them live, I have been to many Phish shows and one Further show.


Tunes, especially the Grateful Dead and Phish
I'm not a huge video game player anymore, but I do enjoy Guild Wars 2 and play a few Steam games with friends, such as Killing Floor and Serious Sam HD.

Doing it live
You can check out which packages I maintain [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packager/oddshocks/ via pkgdb]. I've just started taking on packages, so there are only a couple right now. Once I finish testing and packaging [https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedimg Fedimg], it'll be listed there, too.

Hello! I'm an Associate Software Engineer at Red Hat. I work remotely on the Fedora engineering team, and more specifically, the infrastructure and cloud parts. Right now, I'm focusing on Fedora Cloud image uploading and ostree/atomic image support. Previously, I built the front-end for Fedora Badges along with some back-end work. I worked with Ralph Bean to get Badges production-ready and deploy the app. Currently, there are over 11,000 Fedora contributors with badges.

Interests

Outside of free software, I listen to a lot of music. I love tunes from all eras, but am most appreciative of recordings from the 60s and 70s. My favourite band is the Grateful Dead, and have listened to hundreds of live recordings, many of them over 3 hours in length. The Dead strike a note in me that hasn't been hit by any other music I've heard. Though I am to young to have seen them live, I have been to many Phish shows and one Further show.

I'm not a huge video game player anymore, but I do enjoy Guild Wars 2 and play a few Steam games with friends, such as Killing Floor and Serious Sam HD.

Packages I maintain

You can check out which packages I maintain via pkgdb. I've just started taking on packages, so there are only a couple right now. Once I finish testing and packaging Fedimg, it'll be listed there, too.
