Google Open Source Peer Bonus Award

In other news from November, I want to share that I’m thrilled to be the recipient of this award from Google for the first time. I feel really grateful and honored! 🙂🙏🏽

This comes as a result of my contributions to the Linux kernel over the years.

Honestly, I didn’t even know about the existence of this award until I received an email from someone at Google informing me about it. However, learning about it made me feel really great!

My appreciation goes out to my teammates in the Kernel Self-Protection Project, especially to Kees Cook, who has been an invaluable mentor to me over the years. Special thanks to Greg Kroah-Hartman as well, who was instrumental in setting me on my journey as a Linux kernel developer. 👨🏽‍💻🐧
