Spotlight: Rafael David Tinoco

The Ubuntu Server team welcomes another team member this week! Rafael David Tinoco has worked for the past 20 years in companies such as: Linaro (Kernel Validation Engineer and HPC Tech Lead), Canonical (Linux Sustaining Engineer and Tech Lead), IBM (s390x Lab Engineer and Tech Lead, Small Residency with s390x performance team), Red Hat (Solution Architect), Locaweb (Linux/Email devops), Sun Microsystems (Consultant, HPC Engineer, Systems Engineer and Solaris Ambassador). Rafael has carved his career from field engineering positions, in constant contact with customers, into pure engineering ones, focused in Linux internals, userland, kernel and general OS & performance debugging and bug solving. You can find him using a new IRC nick now: rafaeldtinoco. A big thanks for “re-joining” us Rafael, we are glad to have your expertise on the team!
