Hi, I'm Karl. My pronouns are he/him, and I work for MoCo in the Firefox org. I started at Mozilla on Mon 2013-02-11.

As of Mon 2018-11-19, I manage the CI Monitoring and Reporting group inside Joel Maher's CI-Automation team. Between Treeherder (automated) and Code Sheriffing (manual), we check that the code committed to Firefox does not cause regressions or other errors.

I am SF Bay Area-based; my desk is #7010, on the non-kitchen side of the 7th floor in SF. (When I'm in MTV, I usually sit just off the kitchen on the away-from-Evelyn-Avenue side of the second floor.) However, since becoming a manager, I am hardly ever at my desk anymore; email, IRC, and even Slack are far more effective. I keep my calendar up-to-date; a calendar invite is by far the best way to book some of my time. Please don't phone me unless it's already an emergency; cell phones in particular make it very difficult for me to understand you.

I start and end the day early these days; on a typical day I will start having meetings at 7am Pacific (15:00 UTC), and sometimes earlier. I try to wrap up by 3pm Pacific (23:00 UTC); if you're in Asia or Oceania and need to book a meeting, let's see what we can work out.
