Software developer and packager

I have spent many years in IT starting as a programmer in C and Basic then moving into general, data centre and infrastructure management. I am now back writing software mostly in bash and C. These are usually in the form of AutoTools projects which are often then packaged for various Linux distributions such as Debian, Raspbian, Ubuntu, Fedora and openSUSE.
