Projects #

Most of my work centers around open source projects and I’m fortunate to have a role that lets me contribute directly to those communities as part of my day job. Below are a few of the projects I actively work on or maintain. I’ve also contributed to others over the years, including JBoss Web, mod_cluster, Apache HTTP Server (httpd), and OpenSSL.

I also enjoy being a webmaster as a hobby and maintain a few sites for nonprofit organizations.

Fedora Project Maintainer

I’ve maintained the Tomcat package for Fedora since 2015 and co-maintain the tomcat-native package as well. These packages adapt upstream releases for system administrators by adding packaging logic, systemd integration, and platform-specific patches.

Languages: RPM spec, Bash, Java

Apache Tomcat

Apache Tomcat is an open source implementation of the Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Expression Language, and Java WebSocket specifications. I’ve been a committer since 2016, a Project Management Committee (PMC) member since 2017, and am part of the Tomcat Security Team.

Languages: Java, C (tomcat-native, mod_jk)

Vault Extension for Apache Tomcat

The Vault Extension for Apache Tomcat library is a PicketLink Vault extension that lets you store sensitive information (like passwords) outside of Tomcat configuration files. This component is used in the product I support at Red Hat, so I’ve contributed actively to maintaining and improving it.
