My role has recently been been shifted as my team has deprioritised upstream linux kernel development and I am looking for a new role as a result.

Over the past couple of years I have been the top contributor to core memory management by patch count and lines of code changed, and the 2nd-top reviewer.

I also wrote a 1,300 page textbook on the linux kernel memory management subsystem - https://nostarch.com/linux-memory-manager

See https://ljs.io/kernel for a detailed list of what I've done, and https://ljs.io/cv.pdf for my up-to-date CV.

I have been heavily involved in the community, where I established the memory management maintainership model, and have given talks at Linux Plumbers, Kernel Recipes and the key memory management conference LSF/MM/BPF.

I have a proven track record of working very effectively upstream and can really help any company who has needs in this area.

If you are interested or know of any opportunities around linux kernel memory management, please reach out!

Really shitty but not at all surprising:

“most LLMs optimize for visual output while generating near-zero semantic information for the layer that assistive technologies actually read”

e.g. “Claude Code can produce a React sidebar component in 8 seconds. It looks correct: smooth hover states, rotating chevrons, harmonious spacing. But chances are that for screen reader users, keyboard navigators, and voice control users, the component effectively doesn’t exist.”
