Self Introduction: Evan Klitzke

[Evan Klitzke]

Hi,

My name is Evan Klitzke and I've been a Fedora user for more than ten years
now. I'm interested in taking the next steps and contributing to the Fedora
project more meaningfully by becoming a package maintainer.

My interests include software development of all kinds, particularly in
C++, Python, and Go. I write a lot about my interests on my blog at
https://eklitzke.org/ , which lately has been a lot of low-level stuff
related to things like x86 assembly, linkers and loaders, ptrace, and so on
which is what I've been working with and learning a lot about recently.

I wrote a novel Python profiler called Pyflame that can collect detailed
profiling data from Python processes.[1] It's implemented in C++ and uses
ptrace(2) to repeatedly attach/detach from processes to collect stack trace
data. I filed an ITP and hope to find someone to help review and sponsor my
package.[2] I think it is a pretty interesting project, and it's the first
package I'm trying to get into Fedora -- but once I get into the swing of
things I have more code that I want to help maintain!

On a personal note, I live and work in San Francisco. Hopefully I can meet
some of you in real life, as I know there are a number of community members
who either live out here or travel here regularly.
