Being a full time penetration tester at day and a Fedora contributor at night I have a deep insight both into the IT security and the FOSS world. In 2004 I took the opportunity to make IT security my profession by helping to establish a successful penetration testing company. The next year I joined the Fedora community, six years after my initial exposure to Linux. I started by maintaining packages. Later I also submitted patches to several Fedora infrastructure projects. About three years ago I shifted my focus to release engineering.
