Mark Atwood’s Summary

I contribute to the Drizzle project. I am the author of a storage engine for Amazon AWS. I am an a coauthor of the OAuth Core specification, and am a contributor to technologies such as OpenID, Microformats, OTP, and SNMP. I have been involved in projects to build large self-configuring internet networks, including a widely deployed net-connected CATV consumer appliance, a PSTN internet application, and a Mil-Spec decision support intel application.

I've been hacking, building, and administering UNIX systems, open source projects, and TCP/IP based applications since 1987.

The net changes everything it touches. I like changing it so it changes more.
