About

Hello!

I am Joseph Koshy — computer scientist, software developer, and committer at the Elftoolchain, FreeBSD and NetBSD projects.

This website features some of my personal research in computer science.  I’ll be adding a CV to this site sometime, but for now I can point you to my LinkedIn page.

You can view my commits across the *BSD projects at the freshbsd.org tracker site: https://freshbsd.org/?q=jkoshy.
