Morgan Phillips is a software engineer who has a masochistic fascination with ops and operating system architecture. Her foray into software began while studying physics as an undergraduate, when she found that it was more fun to write code than journal articles. Since then she's worked on network analysis tools at the Army Research Laboratory, Data Warehouse Operations at Facebook, and SaaSy startups. She spends her free time writing poetry about the Linux kernel at linux-poetry.com, reading science fiction novels, and roller skating.
