Hey there — I’m Sean.

I’m a developer, open source advocate, and Linux geek from Louisville, KY. I lead a small, highly effective team of developers, crafting best-in-class web and mobile experiences in the automotive industry. If you’ve been following me for a while, you might know me as “bluesabre”—I’m the Technical Lead for Xubuntu and a longtime contributor to Xfce and the Ubuntu community.

I believe software should make life easier, break down barriers, and improve the world around us. I’m passionate about building highly efficient, easy-to-learn software. My early years in Linux development taught me this isn’t just a dream—it’s possible when you have the right tools and share these ideals with other motivated people.

My background includes a Computer Science degree from Berea College, a few years in QA, and a lifetime of tinkering on side projects. I thrive on clean code, good design, and helping others grow. I’m always ready to tackle new challenges and find creative ways to make the impossible happen. I want to help others believe in magic.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to keep growing as a tech leader, mentor more developers, and share my insights with the broader community. I’ve got a lot to say, and it’s time to put those thoughts out there—through talks, blog posts, or wherever I find curious, thoughtful folks.

If you’re into open source, thoughtful software, or just want to trade tips and stories, let’s connect! You can find me on GitHub or LinkedIn.
