Author Information

John O'Duinn is a software developer, systems architect, Director and Founder. Over the last 23 years, in startups and multinationals, he's designed and led teams to build practical, reliable, cross-platform, release engineering infrastructure which is both scalable and efficient.Each time, these infrastructure improvements have allowed companies to ship better software in a more predictable, timely manner, gain a competitive edge in the marketplace, open up new revenue streams and become a force multiplier for the company by improving productivity and retention of both developers and release engineers.In addition to technology, he loves building a culture where distributed teams and individuals work seamlessly across groups in a global workplace. For example, at Mozilla this involved building a tightly knit team of 18 Release Engineers in 14 cities, in 4 non-adjacent timezones, working with the geo-distributed Mozilla open source project. At Hortonworks, the team was 9 people in 4 cities, in 3 non-adjacent time zones, working with the geo-distributed Apache Hadoop open source project. John is currently co-founder of a startup that still has no office.John presents at companies (Google, Mozilla, Netflix and many other startups ), universities (Haas, Carnegie Mellon, DCU) and industry conferences (Mozilla, Oracle, Lotus/IBM and ICSE) around the world (Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Phnom Penh, Birmingham, Dublin, Toronto, Ottawa, Sao Paulo, San Francisco, Los Angeles).He has a MSc and BSc in Computer Science from Dublin City University, Ireland, has co-authored Firefox Release Engineering in the The Architecture of Open Source Applications vol2, and blogs on oduinn.com.When away from his keyboard, John trains in Aikido, volunteers as an emergency dispatcher at Burning Man and loves travel enough to hopefully fill all the pages of his passport (again!).
