Hello! I'm John McBride. I'm an engineering VP at The Linux Foundation where I'm building our AI and backend infrastructure for the LFX platform.
On this site, you can find posts I've written, abstracts and videos for talks I've given, and more. These days, I mostly hang out on Bluesky. Follow the RSS feed here.
