I currently handle the IT support for a large local business. Although I use Windows everyday, you will find I try to use Linux and open source software anytime I can. I use Linux at home on several RPI2 devices and computers. I dabble in audio still but IoT has become a passion of mine recently. I am currently studying for The Linux Foundation System Administrator certification.
When I am not working on computers or IoT devices, you will find me outside on my family farm. Yes, you heard right. I love spending time with my wife and children on the farm. They are the reason I do what I do everyday.
You can usually find mind on LinkedIn. Send me an email any time.

Excellent article! Using FOSS as the back-end and VM proprietary software. As more and more "Big" businesses lean on FOSS software and firmware, it would seem more businesses would follow suite; it's like keeping up with the Jones's. Really wish I could make it to All Things Open this year. Some really great speakers and subject matter.
I saw the change starting a few years ago in the home automation industry. With the widespread use of the Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards across the world, open source software has seen a dramatic climb. The world of the IoT will change how we look at things in the future, in my opinion. these small devices have already replaced big expensive equipment such as servers and supercomputers in some instances. Now, being able to stay connected to your home or even car for that matter..... can't wait to see what the future will bring.
