Top SchoolAndres Gomez is a seasoned Unix and open-source engineering leader with 14+ years driving kernel, graphics and browser technologies from Helsinki as Director of Kernel and Core Technologies at Igalia. A long-time GNOME Foundation member and committer across Mesa3D, WebKit/WebKitGTK+ and LibreOffice, he combines hands-on C/C++ development in OpenGL/Vulkan and Gtk/Qt with strategic business development and project management.
