Self Introduction: Charles Haithcock

Howdy all! I'm Charles Haithcock.

I used to troubleshoot kernel issues within Red Hat Enterprise Linux at
Red Hat and have moved to a new role where I have the extreme fortune
to occasionally work on the Fedora kernel! I started with Linux in high
school on Fedora Core and was hooked ever since. I've submitted a few
patches upstream and have been more recently jumping into Fedora kernel
bugs. Over time, I am hoping to get more entrenched in working in the
Fedora community!

Welcome to Fedora, Charles! I recommend you also join the Fedora
Kernel matrix room[1] too, if you haven't already.

Thank you for the warm welcome! Part of my onboarding to the new team
was joining the matrix channel thankfully!
