Speaker Details

Tony discovered Linux in 1994 and hasn't looked back.  His entire professional career has been spent working on or with Linux.  Tony's first role was as a Systems administrator and Network Engineer at a small Internet Service Provider.  During his 10 years there the customer base grew from "10s" to "1000s".  Tony's next role was with the public service where he was responsible for the maintenance and availability of several national health services.  Tony then received a Masters degree from the Australian National University before joining IBM's Linux Technology Centre - OzLabs as a kernel engineer.  In 2013 Tony was first exposed to OpenStack and quickly ported it to the, at the time, unreleased OpenPower platform. Since then Tony has been employed, first by Rackspace and then by Red Hat to work on OpenStack full time both as a member of the OpenInfra Community and a product developer.
