Gunnar Mills is a Senior Software Engineer at IBM working on the OpenBMC project. Gunnar maintains four OpenBMC repositories, including webui-vue and bmcweb, OpenBMC's web-based user interface and web server, respectively.

I am thrilled by computers. I spent a lot of time designing them at architectural and hardware level, and participated to crazy projects, including building up the biggest european super computer in the late 90's. I love to share my knowledge and enable people to design better computers. I am particularly focused on open technologies currently, which includes design tools like FreeCAD, KiCAD, and open source firmware projects like linuxboot and OpenBMC. I used to work for big companies, created a french based startup that I successfully sold to an american company in 2018. I am now part of HPE mainly focused on open platforms. What does it mean will be known in a couple of months / quarters and years.
