About me

I am currently working at Responsys (now part of the Oracle Marketing Cloud) and live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I graduated in June 2002 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a Bachelor's of Science (SB) in Economics . I got very interested in computer science, and then went to at Villanova University, where I received a Master's degree in Computer Science.
