I have been a Unix and Linux consultant for over 30 years, starting out life with the large servers for the finance and aviation industries. The systems I worked on became smaller and smaller until about 15 years ago I ended up in the world of Embedded Linux, creating smart traffic systems.
Since then, I have stayed with Embedded Linux creating solutions for a variety of industries including medical and automotive.
I also share my experiences by teaching some of the Embedded Linux courses and regularly partake in the DevHeads discord channel.
