biography
I work as Software Developer in Oracle's Linux Kernel Engineering group where I focus on enterprise storage technologies (SCSI, Fibre Channel, SAS, etc.).
Prior to Oracle I worked as Sr. Engineer at Wild Open Source for three and a half years. I spent most of my time at WOS bouncing back and forth between Hewlett–Packard and Silicon Graphics. I worked on the base operating system for HP's XC clustering product and the Altix kernel for SGI.
For two and a half years I was Staff Scientist with Linuxcare in Ottawa, Canada. My main responsibility was aiding major original equipment manufacturers in getting their products working with Linux. I was involved in the initial operating system development on hp's Itanium 2-based Integrity machines and I helped SGI port the XFS filesystem to Linux. I also worked on SCSI and Fibre Channel drivers, RAID and volume management, multipathing, sound driver development and X server debugging on IA-64.
From 1995 to 2000 I was head of the IC1&2 computing department at Aalborg University in Denmark. I also developed the GNOME Display Manager, helped bootstrap the PA-RISC Linux port, and co-founded the Danish SunSITE.
I studied physics and computer science at Aarhus University.
