About ifup.org
This is the weblog of Brandon Philips and contains excerpts from my code, work and play.
I love writing systems software. At Rackspace I am the Engineer of Developer Happiness. At SuSE I was a Linux Kernel Hacker. And at Oregon State I interned at the Open Source Lab. In the world I contribute to open source software, volunteer to teach robotics and get out and about with a backpack, bike or pair of running shoes.
You might have seen me speak at Linux Plumbers Conf, Open Source Bridge, or Ignite Portland. In the past I helped organize Linux Plumbers Conf and Freedom HEC Taipei.
