All,
We are excited to announce that Brandon Black will join us this Monday
(2013-04-01) as a full-time member of the Operations Engineering team.
Brandon comes with deep and wide technical experience. Previously, he held
senior systems engineering positions in companies like
SqueezeNetwork.com,
Veritas DGC, MCI WorldCom and Networks Online.
He is an active proponent and contributor of open-source software, and has
contributed a new GPL-licensed DNS software
(
gdnsd<https://github.com/blblack/gdnsd>)
to accomplish global-level geographic balancing and automatic failover
without paying for expensive commercial solutions.
Brandon resides in Magnolia, TX, but has roamed the planet all his life
(like spending his High School years in Singapore). He is excited to join
the Wikimedia Ops team and hopes to learn many new things from the
experience. His interests include auto racing, being a professional
amateur, and learning new skills by starting projects which he has no idea
how to finish.
Brandon will be in San Francisco office this coming Monday and please drop
by to welcome him!
Thanks,
CT Woo
