Speaker - Romeo S

Romeo is a GNU/Linux sysadmin with nearly a decade of experience. As a college dropout, he has taught himself the ins and outs of GNU/Linux and of countless software projects from scratch with no tour guide or teacher. A consistent habit of "being the edge case that you want to see in the world" has forced him to develop a knack for solving problems that developers and maintainers typically don't see coming. Primarily specializing in HPC-related infrastructure management, he lives in a world of "except for on this cluster" and "except for in this context." This environment of asterisks has forced adaptability, which has translated into a lot of experience in diving into the weeds. He has spoken at several conferences in the PNW and nationwide, seeking to educate as well as to entertain. Originally a Portland native, he now lives in central Washington while working remotely for a company in Seattle.
