In June 2012 I joined Tddium, a start-up which provides a hosted test service to help software-development organizations run tests faster and stop maintaining test infrastructure.

Before that, I was an engineer at Quora, and before that at an MIT-spinoff startup Ksplice, which was eventually acquired by Oracle.

From 2007 to 2009 I was a graduate student in theoretical computer science at MIT working with Jon Kelner and Erik Demaine. I received my master's degree at MIT in 2008, and my bachelor's in mathematics at Harvard in 2007.

Papers from my research days:

• Higher eigenvalues of graphs. With Jonathan Kelner, James R. Lee, and Shang-Hua Teng. FOCS 2009.
• Security impact ratings considered harmful. With Jeff Arnold, Tim Abbott, Waseem Daher, Nelson Elhage, Geoffrey Thomas, and Anders Kaseorg. HotOS 2009.
• A pseudopolynomial algorithm for Alexandrov's Theorem. With Daniel Kane and Erik Demaine. WADS 2009.

Some non-academic talks delivered:

• Haskell: Compiler as Theorem-Prover (slides), a SIPB cluedump, 2007-11-19
• Hacking in Haskell (slides 1, slides 2), a two-session IAP class for SIPB, 2008-01
• Invirt (slides), with Evan Broder, a SIPB cluedump (about the software mentioned below), 2008-12-09

Other activities:

• In 2008-2009 I was chairman of the Student Information Processing Board, MIT's student computing group, and recruited a record number of first- and second-year students. We put a lot of creativity into building computer systems for the MIT community, and it's a good place to learn about computer systems too.
• I led SIPB's XVM Project until 2009, which offers virtual machines to the MIT community. We've developed our own management software, Invirt.
• I organized and run MIT Free Culture, a response to the increasingly invasive scope and effectively unending duration of copyright restrictions. We developed YouTomb.
• Once I wrote an article for The Tech, MIT's student newspaper. The Wall Street Journal picked it up as an "A-hed" story on its front page.
