About Perry

Hello! I am an architect that works with various operating systems, including Fedora. I learned about Fedora (Core, at the time..) when Red Hat Linux was first discontinued back in 2003. I started with Fedora Core 4 on legacy hardware. I presently use Fedora 39 to demonstrate how useful open source systems can be and enjoy working with it.

I am very enthusiastic to help others with their systems, networking, code, and other technology.

I am an active member of the Fedora Ambassadors ([1])

Prior experience includes support of the Openstack Magnum ([2]) project, San Fernando Valley Linux Users Group ([3]), LETHAL ([[4]]), and the Association for Talent Development - Los Angeles Chapter ([5]).
