My name is Adam Miller, this is my tiny corner of GitHub.

I am a loving husband and father. I am an Open Source and Linux nerd.

I'm a Distinguished Engineer at Red Hat, and currently a member of Lightwell Engineering Leadership.

I am the creator and curator of LobsterTrap, a fun wecloming Open Source collective of passionate invididuals doing innovative research, exploration, and open source development in the realm of Artificial Intelligence.

In the past, I've had a few roles throughout Red Hat since I first joined in early 2012. I was a core maintainer of OpenShell, an AI Agent Sandboxing, Saftey, and Governance technology originally released by NVIDIA. I was a member of the OpenShift AI Engineering Leadership where I served as Technical Advisor to AI Platform Executive Leadership. Prior to that, I was a member of the Ansible Engineering Leadership Team and a member of the Ansible Core Engineering Team. Farther in the past, I was a member of the Fedora Engineering Team (now known as Community Linux Engineering Team) where I served on the Fedora Release Engineering Team, the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee, and the Fedora Infrastructure team. My first job at Red Hat was as the Release Engineer for the original OpenShift Online service.

I have a long history of contributing to open source including, but not limited to, projects such as Fedora [1], Ansible, Goose, CentOS, and Ramalama. I was previously the Chair of the Linux Founation AI & Data Technical Advisory Council (TAC).

I've been a Python developer for multiple decades and remains my favorite programming language to this day, but I also enjoy developing in Go and I've become a big fan of Rust as well.

My primary areas of focus, expertise, and passion reside around operating systems, infrastructure, automation, containers, information security, and cloud computing.

Red Hat means something to me, I take a lot of pride in working for a company that believes in and understands Open Source Software at it's core as well as being a part of an open source project that excites a vibrant community as much as it excites me. I'm extremely passionate about open source software and it is genuinely a large part of why I wake up in the morning. I live for this stuff, it's a part of me, and it's why I have Red Hat Shadowman and Ansible tattoos on my person.

I go by maxamillion in most areas of the nerd web and can often be found there. For communications I'm [email protected] on Matrix and @[email protected] on Mastodon.
