Long-time FreeBSD committer who forked DragonFly BSD (2003) to pursue a different SMP and filesystem design — including HAMMER.

Created DragonFly BSD

Forked DragonFly BSD (2003) from FreeBSD over threading design — the 'why' being HAMMER, his filesystem with instant snapshots.\n\nA one-person fork that proved a point about how operating systems could be built.
