I help customers in edge industries build solutions on Linux and open source architectures.</p> <p>Right now most of that is <strong>virtual protection, automation and control (vPAC)</strong>: running a power substation&rsquo;s protection relays as software on standard servers, following the <a href="https://vpacalliance.com/">vPAC Alliance&rsquo;s</a> vision for software-defined substations.
