Summary
Jeff Licquia is a Senior Python Web Developer with three decades of hands-on open source experience, an early Linux adopter and longtime Debian contributor who helped build one of the first commercial Debian derivatives and two Python-based installers. He combines deep systems and tooling expertise from roles at Progeny, the Free Standards Group, and a 15-year tenure at the Linux Foundation—where he led Linux Standard Base efforts and built training, certification, and IT infrastructure—to deliver reliable, production-grade integrations. Now at Six Feet Up, he focuses on web-facing Python systems informed by a rare blend of installer, standards, and certification work. Based in Fishers, Indiana, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a long history of volunteer-driven community stewardship, making him as comfortable shipping code as he is shaping interoperability and developer-facing programs.
