Hi, I'm Brian. I hack on software and hardware.

I've been writing operating systems for a living for 20-odd years now: BeOS at Be, HiptopOS at Danger, Android at Android and then at Google, Fuchsia/Zircon at Google, LK here and there, various toy and experimental systems from time to time.

I grew up with the C64 in the early 80s and worry a lot about modern platforms being too closed and restrictive.

I am a fan of sci-fi and fantasy written, televised, animated, and gamed.
