Resumé (available upon request)
I am presently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC San Diego. I hold a BSc in Computer Science from Harvey Mudd College.
When not being a computer scientist, I am a portrait and environmental photographer. I'll happily make photos of anything, though, so feel free to ask! Photography has become a very valuable escape and an opportunity for me to express myself in ways CS doesn't let me. You also might notice that photography occasionally creeps into my CS work.
My interests include robotics and vision (especially areas like simultaneous localization and mapping and object recognition), autoconfiguring networks, embedded systems and more. Though my interests are always changing, first and foremost I like to make things.
For years, I played almost exclusively in computer science. It was the one place where I could build almost anything I wanted for nothing but the cost of my time. These days I've started playing with several microcontroller-based projects, which have opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me.
At some point, I'll flesh out my interests and projects. Sorry for the delay.
