Hi, I'm Edd. I work as a technical program management leader inside GitHub. I work primarily on Copilot, and security. I still get to mess around with code in my spare time, where Clojure and Rust are my footguns of choice.
My journey in open source started some time before GitHub existed, so you're unlikely to find too much in the contribution graphs: most of my coding stopped around ten years ago, and I contribute in other ways these days. The benefit of this README is that I can tell you about it—non-code contributions are vital for modern open source!
In a nutshell: I created my first open source project in 1999, was lucky enough to chair the O'Reilly Open Source Convention from some years, led open source programs at Google for a while, and have been involved in a variety of CNCF open source projects. You can find more of my historical contributions at the bottom of this document.
In 2025 I joined the staff of GitHub, where I am part of the Technical Program Management leadership. I lead the team of TPMs focused on Copilot.
Most recently at Sysdig, I led open source ecosystem. As a company Sysdig contributes significantly to the Falco project, as well as maintaining other projects such as sysdig and WireShark. Here's why you might want to work with me—though I'm no longer at Sysdig, you can find out about my management philosophy here.
While at Google, I did a lot of working building the TensorFlow and Kubeflow communities. When I became the leader of the 20 person open source program manager group at Google, my team also looked after engagement with projects like Go, Kubernetes, Istio and Knative, as well as Google Summer of Code and other amazing community endeavors.
If you've known for over ten years, you might not know I changed my name. Historic OSS contributions all use my previous name.
