These days, he works as a hired gun at Voxel.net - the lead engineer on their OpenStack Swift “VoxFiles” service offering, using OpsCode’s Chef to do the repetitive heavy lifting. He’s always active in the community, and loves the challenges of bridging the worlds of Free and Open Source software, start-up entrepreneurship, Internet-scale systems, and large corporate information systems.

Transportation info:

- There's a parking lot right behind Depot Square, with a night fare of 0.75$(cents!). This is preferable to the metered sports which are checked until 8pm with a 2 hour limit.

- MBTA routes 76 (http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/bus/routes/?route=76) and 62 (http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/bus/routes/?route=62) have a stop right in front of depot square
