Brad Dixon once told his parents that if they gave him a Commodore 64 it would be the last computer he'd ever want. He never got that Commodore 64. Nevertheless Brad managed to become a computer nerd at a young age. Brad studied Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech and jumped into embedded software engineering. He worked for many years helping developers to design embedded Linux into telecom, network, and mobile products. Brad also took a turn as a product manager for embedded development tools and a mobile location analytics product. At Carve Systems he hacks IoT, embedded, and Linux systems.
