Background

Before coming to Linaro I spent several years in the commercial and defense industries doing both embedded realtime work, and software development tools for Unix. That was followed by a dozen years at Digital (aka Compaq) doing Unix standards, C compiler, and runtime library work. After that I went to a series of startups doing embedded Linux and Android, embedded custom OS's, and Xen virtualization. I've had experience with MIPS, Alpha, and ARM platforms (amongst others). I have used most flavors of Unix starting in 1979 with Bell Labs V6, and have been a long-time Linux user and advocate. I have occasionally been known to debug a device driver with a soldering iron and digital oscilloscope.
