Tod Thomson is a Senior Consultant at Readify who enjoys sharing his knowledge with others and learning from all who will take the time to teach him.

By day he works with Readify's clients to deliver outstanding software with velocity and uncommon sense. By night he tinkers with Linux, .NET & ASP.NET Core, Docker, JavaScript, Node.js and any functional programming languages he can get his head around.

Tod has been a GNU/Linux hobbyist-enthusiast since January 2000 when "a guy" forced him to repartition his brand new AMD Athlon (Slot A 650Mhz) and install RedHat 6.1 "Cartman" on it. He quickly moved on to Debian 2.1 "Slink" (thanks to that friend, APT and the crew at HUMBUG) and the wondrous world of GNU/Linux began to open up to him. In 2004 he “jumped ship” and went to Ubuntu and there he has remained ever since.

Tod has been attending LCA for a number of years and is looking forward to giving back to the community that has given him so much.
