Hi, I'm Etienne Perot. I like software development, Linux-y things, neat hacks, etc. Sometimes I even blog about that.
I currently work as a Site Reliability Engineer at Google in the San Francisco Bay Area. The content on this website represent my views, not those of my employer. For more work-related information, you can read my resume or visit my profile on LinkedIn.
I do a fair share of work on open-source projects, and I also spend a lot of time helping the Official Team Fortress Wiki; you can find me there as well.
I host a handful of websites:
- perot.me (You're looking at it!)
- The Portal Wiki, which I co-founded
- wiki.tf, the Official Team Fortress Wiki URL shortening domain
- Biringa (old personal site; still has a lot of related projects as subdomains, notably the GLaDOS voice generator)
- Gaia Tools and related material
I also operate a number of non-web services, most of which relate to the above websites.
If you need to contact me, the relevant information is on the sidebar.
If you need to message me quickly, you can use XMPP (same address as my email address), or you can send me a message on IRC. I go by the name of WindPower on all the networks I am connected to (Freenode, OFTC, EFnet, GameSurge, QuakeNet).
