Not necessarily in that order.
I currently work in the core team at Igalia. I used to work at the GNOME Foundation as the resident GTK developer, focusing on the core application development platform. Before that, I used to work at Endless as a senior software engineer, where I worked on the applications and SDK team to create a first class application development platform. Before that, I used to work at Intel in the open source technology center, on the Moblin/MeeGo netbook user experience team, where I worked on successful pieces of technology such as the IM and social network status panel and the pasteboard panel; and later in the visualization team, where I worked on developing and maintaining Clutter, a free software library for creating fast, dynamic, and portable graphical user interfaces. Before that, I used to work at OpenedHand, where I worked on projects like the Nokia N series internet tablets.
I am a free software developer.
I am a GNOME contributor in the core platform libraries, working on GLib, GTK, and Clutter. I also held the position of director of the Board of the GNOME Foundation for three years.
Outside of GNOME, I maintain various free and open source software projects, like Graphene, a small library of fast mathematical types for 3D canvases; Emeus, a constraint-based layout manager for GTK applications using the Cassowary constraint solving algorithm; and libepoxy, a small library that takes care of loading and function dispatching for OpenGL and OpenGL ES on various platforms.
I’m currently writing and producing a podcast on the history of the GNOME project, called The History of GNOME, also available on iTunes.
I stream my free and open source software contributions on Twitch.
