In a past life, Patrick has worked on performance analysis software for HPC clusters ("Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector") and cluster technology in general (PTP and hardware time stamping, included in Linux since
2.6.30). Since January 2009 he works for Intel's Open Source
Technology on data synchronization+storage and more specifically
SyncEvolution, originally his spare time project since 2005.
In parallel to his work on commercial, closed source software
Patrick has often contributed to free and open source software
(including Evolution, mkisofs, doxygen, Roundup, gpsbabel, fcron,
UAE) before he started is own SyncEvolution project. Patrick started
his love/hate relationship with computers in his teens on the
Commodore 64 and (more seriously) the Amiga, for which he wrote both
public domain programs (DiskProtection) and shareware
(MakeCD). Later he studied Computer Science in Karlsruhe and
Edinburgh before working for Nero, Pallas and then Intel.
