Ian Kinner is a pragmatic software developer with 17 years of hands-on experience building reliable systems, currently solving healthcare engineering challenges at Fawkes Health. He brings deep infrastructure and embedded-systems know-how from roles at M3 Server, Red Hat, and extensive work on cross-platform GUI and low-level code—evidenced by contributions to the well-known FLTK project. Ian pairs that technical breadth with a knack for field engineering and operations, having run high-availability data centers, custom Linux distributions, and even retrofit an RV to support a mobile, resilient remote-work lifestyle. Outside of work he applies the same tinkering mindset to electronics, welding, rockets and professional pyrotechnics, and his background growing up on military bases gives him a disciplined, systems-oriented perspective.
