I'm a software engineer at Apple where I have worked on various technologies over my career in CoreOS, iOS, and Development Technologies. I am the principal developer responsible for ​XQuartz. I've extended this role to MacPorts where I maintain a large number of our X11 ports in addition to llvm, clang, and some random other ports.
