Luke W. Faraone


I'm a security engineer and software engineer. I was formerly at Dropbox and helped facilitate the work of their open-source programmes office. I was previously at Zulip, which was acquired by Dropbox in March 2014. Not too long ago I was at Google.

I briefly studied applied computer science at George Mason University, which is sort of like computer science, but with more of a focus on software engineering. I am a member of MIT SIPB, and was a TA for a time.

In my free time I'm usually volunteering for Ubuntu and Debian working on distribution development and packaging, or helping out with One Laptop per Child or Sugar Labs. I'm also an administrator on the English Wikipedia, and served on its Arbitration Committee.

You may be interested in my (outdated) resume. You should also add me on Mastodon or Facebook.

On occasion, I blog about what I'm doing.
