Hi, my name is...

Intro:
My name is Justin Berstler, and I've been contributing to the OpenWhisk 
project since April 2016. So far, my main contributions have been the 
Kafka/Message Hub feed provider, the Whisk API object for the Swift 
runtime, the WebSocket package, as well as a number of bug fixes and 
smaller enhancements to a variety of different pieces of the project.

Software:
I've been a software engineer at IBM since 2003 and have worked on a 
variety of projects and products over the years, most of which have been 
developer tools in one form or another. Over the years I have gained an 
immense appreciation for the software development process, and ensuring 
that software is not only as correct as possible, but can also withstand 
the test of time.

My passion in computing is human-computer interaction. I really like to 
get into the head of the software user, and to then try to produce 
something that behaves in a way that is intuitive to them.

I have a fascination with source control systems that borders on being 
unhealthy. I'm logical to a fault (just ask my wife). I can create Keynote 
slide decks that'll knock your socks off.

Ask me about the following when the conversation dries up:
* I'm the father of two young kids (boy 7, girl 4)
* I home brew beer, and I'm currently president of a fairly large local 
home brew club
* I just started dabbling in eating engineered meal replacements (Yes, 
Soylent. No, not the people kind).

I'm very excited to be a part of the OpenWhisk project, and look forward 
to collaborating with you all.
