    Biography

    One of the Conectiva founders, he was one of the lead developers of Conectiva Linux.

    Developed and maintained several Linux kernel drivers.

    Maintained several legacy network protocols such as IPX, LLC and Appletalk.

    Reworked the Linux kernel TCP stack so that lots of non TCP specific code could then be reused by other transport level protocols.
