I write Linux software and work on the systems layer of Linux. In the last two years I have helped to organize Linux Plumbers Conf and Freedom HEC Taipei. It has been rewarding to bring together these communities to discuss current Linux issues.
Robotics is another passion and I had the opportunity to mentor a FIRST Robotics team in Portland recently too. I also continue to work with my friend Ron Jackson to build some neat USB devices for robotics.
