Before working on ARM, he was at Intel and worked on the I2O stack for Linux and unfortunately had to write some drivers for some closed-source operating systems. He has been using Linux since 1993 and playing with the kernel since 1998. His favorite editor is vim and his favorite email program is mutt. When not sitting in front of his computers, he's usually cooking, out on a bike ride, or hunting down new beers to quench his thirst.
