This weekend I learned that Jerry Cooperstein has retired, and while dusting off my personal blog (I will be posting regularly next year –once a month, actually), I ran into my “LFD420 Linux Kernel Internals and Development” certificate of completion, which was signed by Jerry back in May 2016.
In December of that year, I quit my job at a consulting company to pursue my dream of becoming a professional Open Source Developer. Then, exactly one year after completing my Linux Foundation training (at The Linux Foundation Training and Certification), in May 2017, I began my career in Open Source. 😀
2024 will mark my 8th consecutive year working as a professional Upstream Linux Kernel Engineer, and I feel so grateful for all the things that have happened over the years. 🐧
Thanks to all the people who have dedicated their careers to making the dream of Open Source possible. It’s really a great community, full of people who truly make a difference in the lives of billions of people around the world.
I’m so honored to be part of this family. 🙂
