About Philip Branning
Incisive, empathetic, and tenacious software engineer with research skills. Guided by Wall\'s three programmer virtues: laziness, impatience, and hubris. I strongly believe that code is written primarily to be read by other programmers, and secondarily to be compiled and executed.Questions I ask myself- what is the simplest thing that could possibly work- when are we going to need this- what is the user expecting to happen?Specialties- Creative Solutions: lateral, analogical thinking. Is this a solved problem in another domain- Tools and Automation: let\'s do it manually but not do this again. Reproducible analysis and builds- System Administration: POSIX shell and Bash (and know the difference). Gluing pipelines together for fun and profit- Statistics: experimental design, model comparison approach to human-centered statistical interpretation- Signal Processing: automatic speech recognition, 3D time-series analysis of fMRI data- Robotics: linear servo stepper motor control, machine vision- Human Behavior and Performance: psychophysics, vision and action, functional neuroanatomy
