Profile

In 2004, after nine years as an engineer at Apple (having worked on several high-profile projects such as the first iPhone and the open source Darwin operating system), Klee Dienes traded the Bay Area for the US Army. While deployed to Iraq in 2009 as a MEDEVAC pilot and team lead, he experienced the reality of modern mission technology: the in-flight tools that were supposedly there to protect him were every bit as life-endangering as enemy forces. The situation was no better with his feet on the ground: his skills as a Linux and network engineer were frequently called upon to address all manner of systems issues that threatened base-wide operations on a daily basis.
