Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Nagy is a seasoned systems engineer and software developer with 22 years of experience building and maintaining heterogeneous server farms and storage systems across OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Linux and commercial UNIX platforms. He combines deep low-level expertise (kernel/porting, garbage collector and runtime fixes) with practical service engineering—having improved Mono and LibreOffice portability and made OpenBSD ports and packages more robust. At FreeBSD, Mtier and through long-term OpenBSD contributions he focuses on redundancy, networking (L3+), and making complex services reliably portable across architectures. Known for hands-on problem solving, he has implemented OpenBSD-specific runtime changes in the Mono project and ported major apps like Chromium and LibreOffice, reflecting a rare blend of OS internals knowledge and cross-platform portability engineering. Based in Hungary, he pairs decades of production ops experience with active upstream open-source collaboration to reduce long-term maintenance burden.
