Tom Bereknyei

Tom Bereknyei, Lead Engineer. Used Nix in small teams, and large organizations, from academic research to war zones, to manage hardware and to train artificial intelligence. Started his career at Google, then spent 14 years in the Marines flying planes and working as a software engineer before joining an early startup in the defense contracting space. It was while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command that Tom first became aware of the “superpowers” inherent in Nix, and for over a decade has been a leader in the Nix community, participating in Nixpkgs curation efforts and leading NixOS releases, at the same time struggling to incorporate and promote the use of Nix and NixOS in his “day job”.
