About
I am a Masters of Engineering student in Computer Science at MIT,
working with Professor Hari Balakrishnan in
the Networks and Mobile Systems
group in CSAIL. I
graduated from MIT with degrees
in Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science
and Chemistry
in 2009.
I grew up in Fremont, California, and while my family currently calls
Nashville, Tennessee home, I am a happy, messy, enthusiastic denizen
of East Campus.
I love systems and network programming. I love the history of the
Internet, have a great affection for old computers, and enjoy
tinkering on electronics projects. I work through W. Richard Stevens
books for fun.
I like keeping busy and always have a number of projects in the
works. I am a member of MIT's Student
Information Processing Board and have taught a variety of short
classes under its auspices, including an Introduction to LaTeX, ``Unix
is Your Friend'', and my personal favorite, ``The Internet Shouldn't
Work''. Other activities in the recent past include
blacksmithing, developing an iPhone app for a Mobile Application
Competition, writing a music exploration website for
a Web Programming
Competition, various Arduino-driven bits of mischief, often
centered around making lots of LEDs blink, participating in
the Mobile Autonomous System
Laboratory competition, DJing The Nightfly: In Blues We
Trust, a blues, R&B, and funk radio show
on WMBR, teaching Blues Piano, acting
as a student member on
the Committee on
Academic Performance, LARPing with and eventually leading as
Grandmistress the MIT
Assassins' Guild, participating in
an Autonomous Robot Design
Competition, and working as Managing Editor
for How To Get Around
MIT.
