The last 16 months have been challenging, to say the least. However, despite the many obstacles brought on by the pandemic, Collabora has continued delivering services to our clients, and continues to build and strengthen our engineering and administration teams for the road ahead. With over 15 years' experience in working remotely, Collabora was, and continues to be, uniquely prepared to support our customers and our teams during these challenging times. 

Based in North Macedonia, France, Brazil, India, Argentina, Brazil and Scotland, these seven new Collaborans join our worldwide team of highly skilled engineers, developers and managers who all share a common passion for technology and Open Source.

Welcome Kiril, Benjamin, Daniel, Shreeya, Ariel, Nicolas and James!

He initially started as a Java developer then switched to Project Management 5-6 years ago. He is a highly motivated IT professional, with eagerness to learn and because of this he became the best at what he does.

He is passionate about the hacker culture and free software movement, and has contributed to the Linux kernel on the documentation toolchain as well as on the vimc driver. He is also currently working on upstreaming a flash LED driver on his spare time.

James Addison

James Addison is a software developer from Edinburgh who became a Linux and open source enthusiast after a friend provided him with a copy of Slackware and another friend introduced him to the vim editor.  He enjoys writing and cleaning up Python code and contributing back to open source projects when he encounters bugs, including tracing and fixing them as time allows.


From tailoring the latest Open Source technologies to your projects, to integrating Open Source methodologies into your organization or contributing your code back to the community, you can count on Collabora to help you navigate the ever-evolving world of Open Source. Contact us today to see how we can work together.
