Michael has been in and around Open Source software since the early 90's when he first got introduced to Linux in 1993. He's held various positions at Compaq, HP, IBM, Microsoft where he travelled the world to spread the love for open source software, launched new products to help companies deliver IT services to their users better and faster, and is now back at Hewlett Packard Enterprise where he's helping customers understand the best use cases and technologies within HPE's Helion Cloud portfolio.
Outside of his passion for open source, Michael is also very passionate about empowering people with disabilities by making technology and content accessible for everybody. He believes in the idea that disability is a design problem and by building products and services for people with disabilities, everybody wins.
