Obituary - Lessons learned with a career in software?
summary
Career arc traces concrete, reproducible work: upstreaming SELinux into the Linux kernel (NSA-sponsored, ~2002), inventing MCS mount-namespace isolation used for containers and VMs, shipping an SELinux-based sandbox and kiosk (XG guest), building container tooling (cri-o, skopeo, buildah) that leads to podman replacing Docker in RHEL 8, creating bootable-container tooling (bootc/Moonshot) shown at Red Hat Summit, enabling Mac GPU passthrough via live-kun/krunkit, and launching RamaLama (almost 100 contributors in eight months).
