I speak and write publicly to increase awareness of open source development philosophies and of noteworthy projects, especially in the area of cloud computing. I am a regular speaker and participant at conferences covering software technology, cloud computing, and open standards. I regularly speak at O'Reilly OSCON, MySQL, Linux.conf.au, Internet Identity Workshop, and at CloudCamps. I also regularly speak at smaller meetups, users groups, classrooms of students, and at unconferences. I have been regularly interviewed and quoted in the technology press. I am skilled at self-directed distributed team working styles collaborating via email, IRC, IM, voice, and shared docs. I am used to extensive travel. I am a coauthor of the original OAuth Core specification. I have contributed to DrizzleDB and related projects. I am the author of a MySQL storage engine for Amazon AWS. The net changes everything it touches. I like changing it so it changes more.
