me

Hi. I’m Brian Tarricone and this is my website. This site is mostly just random stuff about me, as well as some pages about my work on Free Software. I shall preemptively apologize for the sorry state of this website, as it probably hasn’t gotten more than the most minimal amount of love since 2005.

I have a web journal, an online résumé (somewhat out of date, but still relevant), and a PGP/GPG key.

I am once again a core developer for the Xfce Project, a lightweight desktop environment for the X11 windowing system. I also work/have worked on other side projects, all in various stages of completion (most of them abandoned, to be fair).

Professionally, I spent a touch over ten years at Twilio, Inc., working on everything from web and mobile calling, to SIP infrastructure, to fax (yes, fax), to selling programmable SIM cards, to NLP, to serverless, to API proxies, to… well, really, I did a lot there. I had a short stint at Fanhattan, LLC, working on embedded OpenGL rendering on Android. Previously, I worked at Kno, Inc. as a software lead for the (now-defunct) tablet device framework. Before that, I was employed by Netgear as a software developer working on multimedia devices based on an embedded Linux system, as well as an engineering project manager for the previous generation of the multimedia product line.
