Hello Islam, Coincidentally, we just had a discussion with another up-and-coming star like yourself: https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-hackers/2025-September/005076.html Also great to see another UW alum on the list. I attended UW {Madison|Milwaukee} and later taught and supported HPC at UW-Milwaukee.
