I am currently working on my Computer Science undergraduate degree and plan to get a masters degree in Computer Science with a focus in Software Engineering.

I am fluent in the following programming languages: Python, Java, C, C++, and I have some experience with Ada83 but am horridly out of practice. I know Intel-x86 and MIPS assembly but prefer to not ever code in either. I'm always looking to improve on the aforementioned (high level) languages.
I am comfortable coding in [http://www.python.org/ Python], [http://golang.org/ Go], bash shell (3.0+), POSIX sh and I know my way around [http://www.ruby-lang.org Ruby] and [http://nodejs.org/ Node.js] but not nearly well enough to claim I'm "fluent" in either. I have some experience with Ada83, Java, C, C++ but am horridly out of practice. I know some Intel-x86 and MIPS assembly but prefer to not ever code in either. I'm always dabbling in different programming languages because I find them fascinating but haven't found another language in my dabbling that I feel comfortable enough with to claim as a "skill".
 
I am well versed in [http://www.ansible.com/ Ansible], using it for automating but also developing against it's code base and developing plugins/modules.


I am a fedora packager, so I guess I would consider "packaging RPMs" one of my skills. Though I would like to thank all the developers involved an making the build environment because the incredible tools available really do make packaging a breeze.
I am an experienced RPM Packager, Fedora Packager, Fedora [https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Provenpackager_policy/ Proven Packager], and the original Author of [https://rpm-packaging-guide.github.io/ the RPM Packaging Guide].


Proficient with debian and Fedora/RHEL/CentOS server administration (in an array of implementations) and general (desktop) use.
I have professional experience with debian and Fedora/RHEL/CentOS server administration (in an array of implementations) and general (desktop/laptop) use but tend to focus on the Red Hat family of distributions.

=== My Relation to the Fedora Project ===


I have found my way to Fedora after an eight year journey of using other distributions and have now made myself a home. I am currently a Fedora packager and plan to continue this for the foreseeable future. I still enjoy playing around with other distros but prefer to develop/package for Fedora as this project is the one that puts forth my own personal beliefs in software freedom as well as keeping up with wonderful quality assurance, a helpful community, inspiring innovation, and an over all solid distribution. I also am a RHEL administrator by profession which is what brought me to the Fedora project to begin with.

Starting December 2017, I was a member of the Ansible Core Engineering Team focusing on upstream development of various Ansible related code and content. In Early 2019 I shifted focus and became the Engineering Architect and Lead Developer for Ansible Security Automation.

Starting in April 2015, I was a member of the [[Fedora_Engineering | Fedora Engineering]] team mostly focusing on [[ReleaseEngineering| Fedora Release Engineering]] tooling but helping anywhere I am able as I am able.
 
=== OpenShift Origin ===
From April 2012 to April 2015 I was the Release Engineer for OpenShift Online at Red Hat. As a fan of Open Source and of OpenShift, I would love to help bring OpenShift Origin (the upstream to OpenShift Online) to as many users and developers within the community in any way I can, and will continue to strive towards that goal.


=== My Relation to debian GNU/Linux ===
=== My Relation to the Fedora Project ===


There is a similar wiki page that belongs to me located [http://wiki.debian.org/AdamMiller here]. I do still run debian on some machines as well as fedora on others. I enjoy both linux distros in their own respect and have in the past contributed to debian in various ways but will probably stop doing so in the future. I still enjoy debian in many ways but as my future takes me further into the professional market, I have become more focused on RedHat oriented undertakings.

=== My Relation to Nexenta OS ===
=== The Gnome Project ===


There is a similar wiki of mine located [http://www.gnusolaris.org/gswiki/Wiki/AdamMiller here] that is also no longer "maintained". It exists in respect to my support of the gnu/opensolaris project and my hope that the debian community will accept gnu/opensolaris as an official port of debian.
I am currently a Friend of Gnome and I encourage others to join in as well.

=== My Relation to Xubuntu ===
=== KDE e.V. Join the Game ===


There is a similar wiki of mine located [http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdamMiller here] that is no longer "maintained." It includes all of my relation to the Xubuntu project, which is a project I still support and attempt to help as I can because I personally agree with what the goals of the project are, but I have left the project for the most part due to conflict of interest and the unfortunate side effect of "real life" getting in the way. While I have in the past slandered Ubuntu greatly for it instabilities and inconsistencies, it does appear the project is slowly beginning to turn itself around.
I am currently a supporter of KDE e.V.'s Join the Game program and I encourage others to join in as well.
