Hi, I'm Mike!

Measured by beard I am an operations guy. Measured by my GitHub account, I'm an infrastructure coder and a (so far) hobbyist Ruby enthusiast.

I'm with GitHub doing enterprise support, working remotely from mainland Europe most of the time. I am LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 certified.
You may usually talk to me in person at the OSDC, OSMC, Nordic Ruby and Frozen Rails conferences.

Contributing to Open Source software plays an important role. I'm an approved contributor to Chef. There're also a few old, ugly, outdated and unmaintained Plugins at Nagios Exchange.
I also gave a talk at the OSMC 2012, spreading the word about Behavior-Driven Infrastructure.

As a Ruby hobbyist I've started development on various small projects trying to get a grip on professional web application engineering. I'm also working on a super secret project called bofhcast.
