James is the creator and project lead for the Zuul project gating system. As a sysadmin and hacker he gets to write elegant code and then try to make it work in the real world. He started Acme Gating to provide enterprise Zuul support and services.

I am a software engineer and architect with experience across various domains. Over time, I've seen how good architecture and thoughtful design choices directly influence the quality, maintainability, and long-term impact of a product.

I care about practical, scalable designs and clear separation of concerns. In my work, I focus on designing and maintaining systems that support change and are easy to reason about. I believe that during the implementation phase, code reviews are a crucial step - and making them as efficient as possible pays off.

Outside of work, I contribute to open source, particularly Gerrit Code Review, where I'm active as a developer, maintainer, and occasional speaker. Lately I've been teaching coding agents to review - and be reviewed - the same way.

Long time ago, I installed linux out of curiosity. That led to hobby contributions, which grew into work in the GNOME desktop (via maemo, nokia's flavor for mobile devices), which eventually, after a few other adventures, brought me to Google. Here I work on the git hosting, contributing regularly to jgit, an open source java implementation of git.
