François Charette

I am committed to Open Source since the 1990s. I have decades of experience in various IT roles in engineering and customer-facing activities for large enterprises, especially in the financial and public sectors. I have joined Red Hat in June 2022 as Solution Architect in the German team. I studied physics and mathematics in Montreal, Canada, and thereafter obtained a doctorate in history of science and technology. This hybrid background in science and humanities influences to this day the way I look at technology in today‘s society.
