Bruno Verachten

Bruno is a father of two, husband of one, geek in denial, beekeeper, permie and a Developer Relations for the Jenkins project. He’s been tinkering with continuous integration and continuous deployment since 2013, with various products/tools/platforms (Gitlab CI, Circle CI, Travis CI, Shippable, Github Actions, …​), mostly for mobile and embedded development. He’s passionate about embedded platforms, the ARM ecosystem, and Edge Computing. His main goal is to add FOSS projects and platforms to the ARM architecture, so that it becomes as boring as X86_64. That’s why you’ll see lots of issue openings in his activity for projects that don’t support yet the ARM architecture. He forked tons of existing repos to bring the code to the ARM platform, built some Docker containers that were downloaded several million times, and made very modest contributions to some FOSS repos. He is also running the SBC community website which deals with the OrangePi SBCs.
