ABOUT JOHN LEVON
I\'m a senior software engineer with wide-ranging experience of developing OS and virtualization products across the whole life-cycle, from requirements analysis, architecture and design, through to final deliverables. I\'ve worked across the whole software stack from core kernel up to user interfaces and networked systems. I have broad experience in storage, networking, virtual machines, containers, security systems, etc. with a particular focus on RAS and observability.I\'m a self-starter comfortable working remotely with teams large and small. I have direct experience in managing open source projects as well as contributing to large projects such as Xen and the Linux kernel.I was the project founder of OProfile, a Linux kernel performance tool, as well as a contributor to several other open source projects (including the entire Joyent stack).What motivates me: solving real-world complex problems, and delivering a solution that\'s usable, reliable, integrated, and high quality. What I find fun: chasing down an \"impossible\" bug, fixing it, and figuring out how to prevent the same bug from happening again.Keywords: UNIX, Solaris, Linux, x86, kernel, virtualization, containers, storage, networking, open source, C, C++, Python, Node.js, Rust
