I'm excited to announce that I'll be starting a new role as Ecosystem Engineering and Operations Lead for @yoctoproject on Monday 8th December.

I started using and contributing to OpenEmbedded & Yocto Project back in 2013 and since then it's been a key part of my career. I've seen the project from many points of view over the last decade-and-a-bit: first as a hobbyist, then working with board vendors, silicon vendors, system integrators and end users. Now I'll be seeing it from inside the project leadership team and helping to shape its future.

Yocto Project has an excellent team and a strong base of members & contributors. This new role will help to coordinate our activities, take pressure off our Software Architect and scale up what we can deliver. I expect to be spending a lot of time thinking about the challenges and opportunities presented by the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). And I'll still be getting my hands dirty on some actual code as needed to help the project move forward!

I am really happy with my photography has come along in the last 2 years. Getting a decent zoom lens and practicing with it, along with doing a half day wildlife photography course, have led to some definite improvements in what I can do.

And instead of photos being sat around on my computer doing nothing, I'm now posting them over on #PixelFed pretty regularly. If this kind of thing is of interest to you, please give my account over there a follow! (You can do this from a Mastodon account as well thanks to the power of the fediverse)

A screenshot from my PixelFed account showing a 3x3 grid of recent wildlife photography posts. There's a few birds and ducks, a dragonfly and a couple of cute cat photos.

#introduction

I'm an #embeddedlinux and #opensource nerd based in Nottingham, UK. I work remotely for a small IoT company and I'm slowly moving into a team lead role.

I'm a #humanist, a #leftist and try to be an ally to the #lgbtqia folks in my life.

I enjoy #hiking, #wildlifephotography, drinking #craftbeer & #whisky, and reading #scifi, #fantasy & non-fiction.

I'm slowly learning that I'm probably #autistic and it's been a really self-affirming process.

Pronouns are he/him. Happy to chat.
