Bio
SM Hasan, PhD, MBA
It was my great pleasure to work with Philip. His vast technical knowledge in embedded system and in software radio area helped me a lot in many of my projects. I would be glad to work with him in future also.

It is a pleasure to recommend Philip Balister and his Linux work. I have known Philip since 2007 and he has been my first point of contact of any Linux issue (userspace or Kernel). He has a great knowledge of the software and custom hardware platforms he is using, and has saved by bacon far too many times than I care to remember! Andrew Armstrong
