Spotlight: Rafael David Tinoco
The Ubuntu Server team welcomes another team member this week! Rafael David Tinoco has worked for the past 20 years in companies such as: Linaro (Kernel Validation Engineer and HPC Tech Lead), Canonical (Linux Sustaining Engineer and Tech Lead), IBM (s390x Lab Engineer and Tech Lead, Small Residency with s390x performance team), Red Hat (Solution Architect), Locaweb (Linux/Email devops), Sun Microsystems (Consultant, HPC Engineer, Systems Engineer and Solaris Ambassador).
