Ken Lalonde is a systems developer with over 12 years of professional experience and a long history in UNIX systems, kernel and device work dating back to the 1980s. He blends hands-on software development in C, Perl, and Python with systems administration across Solaris, Linux and *BSD, and has built and maintained production services like mail, DNS and RADIUS at scale. His background includes architecting a web-based expense management platform and running critical academic computing infrastructure where he contributed ports and tooling later adopted more broadly. Known for a preference for simplicity, he moves comfortably between low-level system hacking and pragmatic web-facing solutions. Based in Old Toronto, he pairs deep institutional knowledge of UNIX internals with a practical focus on reliable, supportable systems.
