I'm the Director of Open Development at Linden Lab, and also heading up the Applied Engineering team. My mission is to invigorate and expand the open source program both inside and outside Linden Lab, and to make our sustaining activities more responsive to the needs of our Residents. I think those go hand-in-hand.

In The Real World

...I'm based in the Boston office.

I'm a long time open source user and developer - before coming to Linden Lab I spent ~7 years leading the sipXecs SIP PBX project

My career has been a steady climb up the ISO protocol stack... I started out doing link layer drivers at NCR and other places, built a few different network and transport layer protocols, then spent several years on HTTP (if you have a device that has a web interface, there's a decent chance it has my server in it), then several more on SIP (the core protocol for most voice on the net), and now I've worked my way up to virtual worlds. I've done a lot of standards development, mostly at the IETF, but also at other industry consortia.

Outside work, I play billiards in the APA, and ride my electric skateboard (often to work).
