He manages development resources at CodeWeavers with his turtle spirit animal as his co-pilot. He could give a 40-minute presentation on the challenges of an off-grid cabin in winter, with absolutely no preparation; he will never buy two cats and a dog again. He’s a morning person, whose favorite day on the calendar is Boxing Day and least favorite sport to watch is darts. He may have seen a ghost, has never owned a waterbed and his dream car is a Google self-driving car. If you are looking for a suduko player, he’s your man, if you are looking for a karaoke partner he’s not your man. Introducing our talented Canadian Director of Development—Ulrich Czekalla.
In his own words: I grew up in Toronto, Canada. I got my first computer in 1983, the Apple 2e. I used to spend hours typing in basic programs from computer books and magazines. Starting hacking on Linux in the early 90's but didn't really get into Wine hacking until I started working for Corel Corporations porting their applications to Linux. No longer hack as much as I'd like. Instead, I mostly just guide my 11-year-old son in sharpening his hacking skills.
