Martin has a MSc in Computer Science with specialization in Networks and Distributed systems.
He has a background in networking ranging from classes in fiber optical communications, not to mention practical experience, to developing a BGP speaker in Erlang.
He also has a decent full-stack knowledge in the sense of from the transistor/gates/microcode to distributed programming, including a fairly good understanding of CPU bus-cycle efficiency and memory hierarchies (the Instruction-vs-Data conundrum, pipelining, etc).
A Linux user since 2003 (the true year of Linux on the desktop), came in contact with Open Stack 2012 and Ceph 2008, and enjoys optimizing ALL aspects of IT.
Recently working on introducing Infrastructure-as-Code principles in key critical IT infrastructure.
Apart from all things IT, have a long-term interest in a good future for humanity.
As cheesy as it sounds, apparently not everybody shares this interest.
