Dustin Kirkland (Twitter, LinkedIn) is an engineer at heart, with a penchant for reducing complexity and solving problems at the cross-sections of technology, business, and people.
With a degree in computer engineering from Texas A&M University (2001), his full-time career began as a software engineer at IBM in the Linux Technology Center working on the Linux kernel and security certifications, including a one-year stint as an dedicated engineer-in-residence at Red Hat in Boston (2005). Dustin was awarded the title Master Inventor at IBM, in recognition of his prolific patent work as an inventor and reviewer with IBM's intellectual property attorneys.
Dustin then first joined Canonical (2008) as an engineer (eventually, engineering manager), helping create the Ubuntu Server distribution and establishing Ubuntu as the overwhelming favorite Linux distribution in Amazon, Google, and Microsoft's cloud platforms, as well as authoring and maintaining dozens of new open source packages.
Dustin joined Gazzang (2011), a venture-backed start-up built around an open source project that he co-authored (eCryptFS), as Chief Technology Officer, and helped dozens of enterprise customers encrypt their data at rest and securely manage their keys. Gazzang was acquired by Cloudera (2014).
Having effectively monetized eCryptFS as an open source project at Gazzang, Dustin returned to Canonical (2013) as the VP of Product for Ubuntu and spent the next several years launching a portfolio of products and services (Ubuntu Advantage, Extended Security Maintenance, Canonical Livepatch, MAAS, OpenStack, Kubernetes) that continues to deliver considerable annual recurring revenue. With Canonical based in London, an 800+ work-from-home employee roster and customers spread across 40+ countries, Dustin traveled the world over, connecting with clients and colleagues steeped in rich cultural experiences.
Google Cloud (2018) recruited Dustin from Canonical to product manage Google's entrance into on-premises data centers with its GKE On-Prem (now, Anthos) offering, with a specific focus on the underlying operating system, hypervisor, and container security. This work afforded Dustin a view deep into the back end data center of many financial services companies, where he still sees tremendous opportunities for improvements in security, efficiencies, cost-reduction, and disruptive new technology adoption.
Seeking a growth-mode opportunity in the fintech sector, Dustin joined Apex Clearing (now, Apex Fintech Solutions) as the Chief Product Officer (2019), where he led several organizations including product management, field engineering, data science, and business partnerships. He drastically revamped Apex's product portfolio and product management processes, retooling away from a legacy "clearing house and custodian", and into a "software-as-a-service fintech" offering instant brokerage account opening, real-time fractional stock trading, a secure closed-network crypto solution, and led the acquisition and integration of Silver's tax and cost basis solution.
Drawn back into a large cap, Dustin joined Goldman Sachs (2021) as a Managing Director and Head of Platform Product Management, within the Consumer banking division, which included Marcus, and the Apple and GM credit cards. He built a cross-functional product management community and established numerous documented product management best practices, processes, and anti-patterns.
Dustin lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife Kim and their wonderful two daughters.
THIS is a GREAT post. I usually use ALT-SPACE then maXimise or miNimize and love the keyboard. I love it when the web has such. For those that use firefox (I'm on Chrome mostly now) there is an extension called mouseless browsing which is nice, as it assigns key functions to fields, links and such. Also though the vimerator or something similar allows you to use VIM keyboard style actions in Firefox.
ReplyDeleteKind Regards
You should have add than :
ReplyDelete— Alt-left mouse clic move the window
— Alt-right mouse clic pop up the window menu
— Alt-center mouse clic resize the window
Forget the titlebar and window corners !
Actually it takes Alt-Control-Tab to cycle backwards, which in all honesty drives me completely mental. I assume there's a way to change it but thankfully I don't have to use it enough to really annoy me...
ReplyDeleteI think Alt-Ctrl-Tab is default as that's the way it is on the laptop I set up explicitly for playing with Lucid which just went 9.04->9.10->10.04 alpha 2 with no tweaks or customisations along the way.
Ah it takes some getting used to but its ok after a while. Ive been using the new layout for a few days now and im climatised now.
ReplyDeleteAlt-F10!
ReplyDeleteI was always looking for it. Thanks for the tip!
ALT Space also brings up the window menu. I'm accustomed to these:
ReplyDeleteALT Space n - Minimize
ALT Space x - Minimize
ALT Space t - Always on Top
If you really love your keyboard it's probably better to use Xmonad, Awesome or some other tiling WM. And as mentioned before adding Vimperator to the mix put the mouse to final rest.
ReplyDeleteOr just revert the change to the northwest.
