Summary
Gary Greene is a Full Stack Engineer with 11+ years of experience architecting and operating Linux-first data center platforms and developer tooling for large enterprises, currently shaping Ford’s next-generation data center OS and driving cultural transformation toward agile, cloud-first practices. He blends systems-integration depth—LDAP/Kerberos/DNS, configuration management (Puppet, Chef, Habitat), and cross-platform scripting in Perl, Ruby, Go and C++—with UI experience in Qt and Win32::GUI, making him effective across infrastructure and application layers. Gary has a long history of bringing open-source desktop and server technologies into production environments, lowering TCO by combining open and closed-source solutions into appliance-like stacks. Known for coaching teams in DevOps best practices, he also quietly advances desktop Linux adoption through community contributions and decade-long hands-on work outside the office.
