| I have been a Linux user since 1999, starting with RedHat (was it Valhalla or Engima? I'm not sure), before experimenting with Mandrake and SuSE, and then going back to RedHat 9 for some time and also spending several years with Gentoo Linux. My first encounter with Fedora was working at a well-known hosting company who happened to have Fedora Core (from Core 1 to Core 3) as Linux flavors. To be honest I continued using Gentoo on my workstation: I was obsessed with over clocking my computer and trying to squeeze all the performance I could get from my computer at the hardware level and at the software level.

| In recent years I haven't had the time to maintain and keep compiling everything from source, plus my current job required me to migrate and package some web applications from Solaris to Terra Linux (a custom flavor of Linux also based on RPMs) and from one version of Terra Linux to the next one, and now most recently to CentOS using RPMs, which was my first encounter with spec files and the process of building RPMs.

| Right now I feel that I have the time and the knowledge to collaborate with this great community; I know my building and packaging skills are not at the same level as some of the gurus here but I am eager to learn. I also have system administration skills that involve migrating applications, identifying and troubleshooting bugs, automating tasks and managing systems, plus I have been using Fedora for the last 3 years on my work station.

| I consider myself to be detail-orientated perfectionist, sometimes obsessed with solving problems (so don't be surprised if you see me
| |
| closing a ticket at 3:30am), and I am not afraid of asking for help nor
| |
| getting stuck in to solve a problem.

| As a former NSLU2 Linux enthusiast I am used to working with low resource systems (32MB of ram and 133MHz) as well as optimizing the OS and applications for this purpose.

| Despite having a sysadmin profile, I am also a people person: I speak English even though I am originally from Venezuela (I moved to Miami back in 2002) so my native language is Spanish, and I also understand and speak some Portuguese and Dutch.
