Hello! I'm an Associate Software Engineer at Red Hat. I work remotely on the Fedora engineering team, and more specifically, the infrastructure and cloud parts. Right now, I'm focusing on Fedora Cloud image uploading and ostree/atomic image support. Previously, I built the front-end for [https://badges.fedoraproject.org Fedora Badges] along with some back-end work. I worked with Ralph Bean to get Badges production-ready and deploy the app. Currently, there are over 11,000 Fedora contributors with badges.

Outside of free software, I listen to a lot of music. I love tunes from all eras, but am most appreciative of recordings from the 60s and 70s. My favourite band is the Grateful Dead, and have listened to hundreds of live recordings, many of them over 3 hours in length. The Dead strike a note in me that hasn't been hit by any other music I've heard. Though I am too young to have seen them live, I have been to many Phish shows and one Further show.
