Hi Fedora developers, I’m looking to join your ranks 😊 I’ve made a<https://pagure.io/user/mcinglis/requests?type=filed&status=all> few<https://src.fedoraproject.org/user/mcinglis/requests?type=filed&status=all> PRs already, and had mistakenly skipped this important step of introducing myself.
I’m a senior software engineer on the Amazon Linux team at AWS. I’m working on the infrastructure and tooling we use for AL packaging, and on maintenance of our user-space packages. I joined the AL team in Q3 2021 with much excitement for our direction regarding AL22<https://aws.amazon.com/linux/amazon-linux-2022/> and Fedora collaboration, and am continuing to support that direction internally. I’ve been at Amazon since 2016, having worked in internal developer tools organization for the majority of that time, specifically on the massive internal build system and on enabling AWS deployments for Amazon’s developers. Prior to Amazon, I’ve worked on software for solar power system logging and control, and on CRUD web development projects. I studied software engineering and mathematics at the University of Queensland for several years. I’ve ran Fedora (Silverblue) as my daily driver on my laptop since at least 2011, though I experiment and dual boot various other distros on other machines (big fan of Guix, Alpine and OpenBSD). Fedora’s always been my trusty workhorse, though, and I’m ashamed that it’s taken me this long to start contributing to the project that I’ve gotten so much value from. Better late than never! I live in Newcastle, WA, USA, and have lived in the Seattle area for the past six years. I’m originally from Brisbane, Australia. I have a website<http://minglis.id.au/> that’s been gathering dust, but am hoping to get around to that soon. Outside of software which I read and nerd about perhaps too much, I love going places and doing things with my family. I enjoy reading science fiction and history. I am interested in futurism, space exploration and human-scale urban design, and appreciate good coffee and dry wine. Excited to get to work with you all, Malcolm.
